U got any pics?
So they are 2 days old
Some of them have like a little ring around their poofs on their heads...then some don't.
See if this shows in pic...
The splash on the left has little "line" but the white paint does not...View attachment 3179866

They are adorable but unless I'm missing something I'm not seeing any naked necks here. If you stretch their necks out and they are naked necks some naked areas should be easy to see.
 
@LynnaePB & @CSolis
Let me try to get better pics...here is what breeder said:

The chick on the left in that pic earlier came out of splash egg and looked like this...of course I was too excited and didn't get a pic from sides lol!

More pictures are always helpful. 😊

Here is a naked neck baby. You can spot it pretty easily I think even when it isn't stretching the neck out.

And then with some siblings, they don't have naked necks like the naked neck baby does.

Hard to keep her still lol...cant really tell much on the black ones but I know some of em are supposed to be paints.
This one was definitely marked splash though and first to hatch otherwise I'd have no clue which egg it came out of!

by the by, while I have you here Gamma.. my little Poof Poof that has hatched her first batch, and are now 4 weeks old has been screaming her head off today! She's in a pen with Shadow Captain and the 5 babies, but is walking around screaming like there's danger.. is she just telling the birds walking around outside to bug off?

I would think she's trying to protect the babies...but I hadn't been blessed with a moma and babies yet...I'm the moma lol!
Did u integrate her n the babies back into the flock slowly where they could see each other but not touch? Idk of ya do that for moma n babies like ya do when ya just have babies like I have to do.
