SLW or not chicks

[gunslinger33]

i recently picked up two Hoover’s SLW chicks

My guess one is around 5 weeks and the other around 3 weeks ( i’ve Had them 2 weeks this past Saturday)

They are both supposed to be pullets

Anyhow I see differences in the two not sure if it is age or not.

The younger seems to have more blue in the face and body. I do see some white in the wings but far less than the other one.

The older chick has more yellow in its face and obviously more white on wings and body. I wouldn’t call it lacing yet. I have no experience with SLW and I do lower my expectations with hatchery chicks.

They both look like SLW to me. I would say the first one is two weeks old and the second looks about the same as my four week olds.

Thank you all. This is our fist SLW. I hope they settle down as they get older. They are extremely skittish right now compared to some of our other breeds.
