I’m glad they had some nice weather yesterday. Today we had snow flurries.

following for cute Spitzhauben pics

Sure. Happy to help.
But I warn you: Mine are in the awkward stage right now.

Here they were a couple weeks ago (I had a nice day to pose them outside)
chick 1
Much smaller / runt, darker, and delayed crest compared to rest of hatch

chick 2

Here they are tonight at 6 weeks (pics taken just now)
chick 1
still much smaller and darker

Chick 2
more skittish and was peeping crazily when photographed

Chick 1 is my son's fav. He talked me into keeping it, and it's more socialized. However even though it was the smallest, something about the shape of the chick's face made me think male, so we kept a spare (chick2). Honestly, there's no way to sex them yet.

Time will tell. and Updates will follow
