Silkie thread!

Rookie - #1 I am quite sure is a girl by the coloring. she is a Non-bearded so she will get waddles and probably a decent sized comb, but I'd bet 5$ its a girl

#2 I can't tell

I had a feeling about that one because of how she was acting. She reminded me a lot of my two black girls.

I'm so sorry you lost your chick. I lost one that was just 5 days old and I couldn't believe how sad it made me.

Barring and cuckoo are the same B (barring) gene. Some breeds have the barring a little "tighter", neater, more uniform. Then it is called barring. When it's a little more wild, almost like mottled or spots, it's called cuckoo. The difference has to do with the amount of pigment (black) deposited on the feather and the speed at which the pigment is deposited on the feather. (Silkies, I believe, are "cuckoo".)

Ah! Thank you, BarnGoddess! So I can continue to call mine the Cuckoo Twins till I figure out their gender...I'll have to post pix...
