Here they are at about 24 hours old, everyone who popped, hatched and survived so I’ve been stoked even thoughI only got 10/24 on shipped eggs 😕

The Falb fee (front right), and Egyptian (back left), and the two Scarlett’s were the only obvious colors at this stage— all of the tuxedos are similar (Rosetta, dark range, or Tibetan in color depending upon who you ask!)
Here’s a closeup of the Egyptian (which doesn’t have true black anywhere) next to the Falb (missing red tones) also SQUEEE! So tiny!

The yellow chick I’m *still* not convinced I have properly IDed at almost 6 weeks! 😆 she was IDed Italian, then Pearl, the breeder I got them from called her a “snowie”… but she’s not a white base, and she doesn’t have any black anywhere so she’s DEFINITELY got at least one dilute gene going on.

Here she is when she began to feather:

This was when I was told she was a Pearl… but she never developed any black anywhere 🤔

I’m going to do an independant post of her now since she’d color is pretty wild! But here they all are this week, just for fun!

The light one is Italian pattern but I can't guess which dilute gene. Definitely not fee so she isn't pearl. You also have a grau fee in there I think, next to your light one in the last two pics.
