I know it’s kinda early to tell yet but any guesses on one these two Mille Fluers? They are approx a week old I think.

Two weeks old now and the one that I thought might be a boy from week one now has a slightly bigger comb. Still a bit early but it was also the first one to start striking out.
Millie is the first one who isn’t looking like a boy. They both are Mille Fleur D’Uccle .

The lighter chick isn't a Mille Fleur d'Uccle, but adorable nonetheless. :) And so far no definite signs as to gender.
Your other baby looks to be a cockerel - nice, pink comb ALREADY! d'Uccle boys generally show themselves early on. :)

It’s the only bantam other than silkies that was sent. They were marked orange on their heads showing they were Mille Fleur’s. Here’s another photo showing them together. The darker chick is slightly larger though it doesn’t look like it in these photos.

Hmmm....I've never seen a Mille Fleur d'Uccle chick that light. Or a lot of white on the first feathers coming in. But, that being said, perhaps there could be a sort of mutation within the gene pool? (I don't know anything about genetics :lol:) Either way, it's super cute. :love Love the blonde chickies. :)
