Stormy, they are playing "Where's Waldo". They are hard to spot in the corner of the building in amoungst all the "poop" art, or white puddle. But, they are there if you look close. 8)

Not quite sure what you mean by this, TPC. Does one gender's feathers develop faster or differently than the other? ???

Male chicks are smaller so their feathers develop and grow in faster. When you have female and male chicks in the same nest, the flight feathers on the males will grow through the white downy feathers faster. If you look at the two Radisson chicks, one chick has more flight feathers showing, the other more white down still visible. Usually by this age, it's a pretty good indication of their gender but without actually having them in my hands, its just what it looks like from a distance.
