This first pic was taken this morning
The YellowBlue (silver) is at the top right the others will be yellow. Hopefully splits.
The skin on the YellowBlue is a lot paler/pinker than the yellow.

Here is a pic of a couple of older chicks, their feathers are just coming through. If you see the the feathers on the shoulder area one has yellow and the other chick has no colour. The chick with no colour is a YellowBlue (silver)

The next 2 pics are the same youngsters a few weeks after fledging, both cocks. YellowBLue facing left, yellow facing the camera.

Hi all, I took some pics of some young chicks I suspect might be blue birds? Sorry about the quality but even still, there seems to be an obvious difference in appearence to the other chicks. Any thoughts or opinions would be appreciated.
