Months too young to tell on either. First is white; second is a variation on grey.

They are buff; colour has nothing to do with rate of maturing or egg colour. Some lines mature more or less rapidly than others.

That is an example of leakage in recessive white: a stray black feather now and again. Tend to get more of them as the bird ages, but never very many

I had one crow two days ago that is only 4 weeks old! Well,... if you could call it a crow.. sounded more like someone was strangling him! LOL. I was shocked to say the least, but fortunately DH was in the living room near the brooder when he did it, so we know who it was. Now to figure out the other 4!

That is a part of The Natural History of the Chicken, a PBS special from a number of years ago. A very good watch; I haven't seen it in some time. Thank you for posting the link, so I could watch again.

Get the Kleenex box when you watch it!!

Definitely! So touching and well done!
