We have two chicks that we ordered from Murray McMurrray Hatchery that my husband and I cannot quite determine breed on. They are part of a mixed flock we ordered with several breeds of all females (supposedly). We know these two should be a Welsummer and a Bielefelder, but cannot figure out who is who yet. We're also starting to wonder if our one is actually a male. Pictures are included below, with our Clove being green and Piper (who we're thinking might be male?) in red. I know we'll be able to get our answers eventually, but wanted to see if anyone has any ideas!
Birds the day they arrived:
About 1 - 2 weeks old:
3 weeks - Piper (red) - first to start developing a comb out of the entire group
3 weeks - Piper - shortest tail feathers of the group
3 weeks - Piper (red) & Clove (green)
3 weeks - Clove (green)
3 weeks - Clove
