The chicks are 3 weeks old now. I managed to get pictures of 4 out of the 7 before my camera died. Once it charges back up I will try to get pictures of the other 3.
Branchlet 1. Your guess is as good as mine on what the color will eventually be. I am probably wrong but I am thinking some sort of partridge. Poppet is black or silver partridge. Branch has Partridge behind him and twice he threw it when crossed with Chiquita. It is way to early to guess genders, but, if I use size as a clue this one gives pullet vibes.
Branchlet 2. This one is Black, my only black one. Going by size again, tiny so maybe pullet. It also has a bump on its head indicating it will have the best head poof of the group. It should have a topknot similar to Poppets. Please be a pullet, please be a pullet.
Branchlet 3. Reba. If I had to guess based off size, Reba is actually Barbosa. Biggest of the silkies. Taller, wider, thicker legs. Now, of course this means absolutely nothing but I am leaning towards cockerel. My gut is telling me boy, I have learned to listen to my gut.
And last but definitely not least, Adele. She is a polkie. She is showing absolutely zero traits of her silkie lineage. I was waiting to see if she might be splash but also showing no signs of that either. She is white and is pretending she is all Polish.
