Spitzhaubens

[Doublete]

Do you have photos?

They’re only a few days old and in the brooder
There’s a Nankin in there with them

How old are they?

I think they are 7 weeks now I'd have to look

It has been awhile since I have gotten good photos... but here are some old ones of Chamois Spitz

One Golden Spangled Spitz in there too.... pretty light gold though

And a Spitz chick... it was cold in the photo... not sick... Chamois color

A few more old but good ones.

I am curious as to what colors those end up being....

The dark ones look like Golden Spangled? And the creme brulee chicks would be the Chamois.

Not sure about the 2 with white splashes on the face?

And for some crazy reason I thought nankins hatched a very light cream/gold but with a faint chipmunk stripe? Never had them... must have that scrambled in my brain. So which chick is the nankin?

The seller told me “they're all chamois, the dark ones will lighten with each feathering & the brown & dark brown goes away. Once in a great while I'll hatch a silver from the chamois eggs but none of yours look silver at all. The wings & tail will feather lighter first, then the body & the head last. They'll look chamois with a brown head at 6-7 weeks. I'm so glad you got so many “
So I hatched 3 light colored and 3 dark

The Nankin has a dark dot on back of its head
They all look the same

Huh...

Well.... interesting.

I got my Chamois from only 1 place... so maybe different lines have completely different color genetics.

All of my Chamois hatch out creme brulee color..... super light chicks end up being washed out adults...

I used to have a few golden spangled and a couple black....

The blacks started as black chicks... the golden spangled looked like your mid dark/warm dark golden chicks. And the golden spangled did at times go through a black head phase as chicks..


I can't remember what my washed out Golden Spangled looked like as a chick...

I tried to Google Spitz chicks... couldn't find any of Chamois...

I did find a couple nice ones from Cackle of the Golden Spangled

One of my ladies has a wonky toenail it's not causing any issues so do I leave it?
