The long-promised pics

[trystinn]

I managed to get some good pictures today, though I had to hold them myself, please pardon the hand I tried to crop out. I've asked Sherry, my breeder-buddy, for her opinions on sexing, so you'll see my guess for gender and hers with each. Can't wait to see how we do guessing!

The first four (aka The Quadruplets) are a good example of showing different feather types on the same coloration, this one is a smooth-feathered (aka regular feathers) Silkie (T: M, S: F).



Another smooth-feathered Silkie, same coloration (T: M, S: F):



Now, same coloration, but Frizzle feathers T: F, S: F):



Now with Silkie-type feathers (T: F, S: F):



Pretty little B & W Frizzle (T: F, S: M):



B & W, smooth-feathered, (T: F, S: ?):



Black Frizzle Silkie, (T: M, S: F):



Splash Silkie, (T: M, S: F):



Oh dear, I goofed. *blush* Seems I missed one - a smooth-feathered mix, will update with pic.

A group shot to show the size difference, left to right on the haybale: Wendy (Black Silkie), Salt (standard Cochin), a chick, Napoleon (Silkie) and another chick:

This is like a series of mugshots...I can't help but think of the Wallace & Grommit "Have You Seen This Chicken?" Wanted poster from The Wrong Trousers...! ;)
