We're 6 weeks old today. So much to see!

The look cute and happy.

We're 7 today!
Awk! "Elizabeth" is a roo methinks.

Elizabeth is looking suspiciously roo-like. The patchier patterning of the feathers (less even lacing, and whiter patches over the wings) is pretty suspicious. But they are both adorable!!!

Beautiful birds.
SLW are always stunning.
They are both females. I have no doubt of that.

At 7 weeks, Elizabeth looks like a male to me (comb and especially wattles).

And I'm a little concerned about how red Moonie's wattles are, but that might just be how the photo displays on my computer. It's so easy to be wrong about color in pictures!

It would be so wonderful if they're both girls. What should I be looking for?

Those are distinctly pullet faces.
Male saddling comes in at around 12 weeks.
I don't believe either are male for a moment, but I'd like updates.
Beautiful birds.

Thank you so much. I had to do some homework and found this photo. Now I understand the terms. I'll keep posting updates.
