Ok. I know I'm late to the game, and I'm just guessing, but girl, boy, girl, boy.
This is fun!

I'm sticking with my original guess ... for now. ;-)

I wanted to get you the Latest Chick Pics.

SILKIE #1

SILKIE #2

SHOWGIRL #3

SHOWGIRL #4
IMG_8020.JPG

So far the only female I see is Silkie #2
The poof on the heads of the other birds seems to be jagged instead of a nice round poof ( female )

I'm a tad disappointed because it looks like all the Showgirl chicks are MALE!!!
The only females are Silkies. It will take a bit longer to know for sure.

I think 1&2 are both looking girlish, number 4 looks like it's getting waddles, any on number 3? Need a headshot of number 3 to really tell.#3 looking girlish from the back. I still think #3 has a girlish look but I noticed I've changed my mind on #1 and #2 from my earlier vote. Ha! Ha! I'm going with girl, girl, girl and boy (he looks like waddles developing)

Darn you may be right, boy, looks like a big area waiting to develop into a comb, still has a girlish look though. Can you see any waddles developing on it?

#1 has a "male" shaped head poof.
Instead of being round, it is more flat on top.
But I examined it today & I don't see any sign of waddle or comb yet.
I've noticed a Partridge cockerel has the different neck color
Not noticed that on a pullet...so I'm not sure.

#4 The Dark showgirl looks like there is a Tiny waddle.
Today I heard a feeble crow, but I couldn't tell who did it.

#3 Looked today & didn't see any waddles on the white showgirl.
Didn't see any start of a comb either...but the bird is still young.
My showgirl Millie ( avatar ) looked like she was getting a comb when i bought her.
Ends up she is just a homey showgirl pullet - LOL
So I guess we will just have to wait a bit longer to find out the sex of these chicks!
