Lilies four remaining babies are growing like little weeds, they're all feathering pretty good too.

and they've all turned out beutiful.

I'm wondering what colors the little farts will be, and if they'll stay the colors?

I have a Serama baby similar in feathering. I call it Millie Fleur Wannabe. I'm sure the feathers will keep changing, though. Chicks have little secret Superman phonebooths where they go to transform periodically!

nope, not a showgirl, showgirls have black skin, thats a naked neck baby fathered by one of our NN roos. we have two showgirl babies though.

catwalk, wich one does your serama look like?
 
1, 2 and 4 are all juvenille feathers that will shift in color markedly when they get adult feather.

One is definitely closer to Mille Fleur wanna be than Partridge.

2 could be a Partridge or Laced variant or a mix of them.

4 is a juvenille partridge patterned bird, but whether it's wild type or Pg will remain to be seen. The head suggests wild type but that's not set in stone. If the breast goes reddish or salmon it's wild type, if it pencils in then it's pg.
 
thanks walkswithdog, that makes sese, sorta, so I can expect these to look nothing like they do now in about a month? LOL


I'll have to get a pic of Meep, she/he(I think she) looked something similar to the 4th chick, but now has a redish chest.
