We ordered Erminettes from Sandhill Preservation, straight run. Here are the three we think are the Erminettes. Interestingly only one is showing any black feathers.
Here is a pic of what an erminette should generally look like. This was copied from the American Erminette website just for the purpose of showing the white/black feathering, which should be approx 15% black and 85% white.
Here are my chicks at 3 weeks old. Anyone have any thoughts on the chicks and/or the coloring? Given the size of the feet of the one on the right in the second pic, I'm going to guess there is the strong likelihood that one is male.
