Two yellow chicks- who's who?

[polishchickens111]

My order from MPC came in yesterday

and I ordered a NH Red and a Buff Orpington. There are distinct differences in the chicks, but I can't tell which is which. Any suggestions?

Chick #1 (BO?)

Chick #1 again

Chick #2

Together

NH should be a little darker than the BO. Can't tell from your pics (they both look sort of pink because of the light). You'll definitely be able to tell later though.

awwww so adorable

I also realised that the body colour has a slight difference in colour

Your NH will start to feather in soon with variegated light red/cream colored wings. I have both of these breeds and think they are great! Have fun with your chicks!

BO? (rethinking)

NH Red?

The BO is confusing me with its brown/white wings.
