Talking to them has not worked. So I will try the bird netting. Thanks for the suggestion.

I still think they are messing with me.

Lol did you get them marked with the colored zip ties?

The zipties are going on tomorrow. Fortunately I can still tell them apart by wing feather growth. The wheaten ones are like 4-5 days older.

This breed seems to adapt to snow remarkably well. If the hens fly into the snow, they aren't immobilized, and are perfectly willing to move, turn around, and fly out of the snow - righ now snow depts are about 32".

I'm not sure about this color, the one in the center has a blueish color on it's shoulders. I have one more that hasn't developed it's shoulder feathers yet but the wings are the same as this one.

It's hard to tell by this photo but chick down is the best indicator of how the bird will feather out.
I recommend marking them, photographing them and compare their plumage to the others as they grow.

This is the one in question on color and sex

Looks like a male - possibly blue wheaten.
