Little Pluto has some very striking feathers starting to pop out.
These are part way down his back.
He hasn't started to get his elaborate neck feathers yet and wonder if they will be this colour as well.
The chicks are all bigger than little Pearl, she is the tiniest of the flock and tends to get picked on the most by the bigger hens, having three more smaller chickens is a good thing for her.
I have noticed that she will often spend a bit of time with the three young ones during the day.
Still not sure if the other two chicks are hens and they still have no comb or wattle. I still haven't named them either.
The darker grey of these two mystery chicks was caught preening and on closer inspection there doesn't seem to be any fancy feathers coming through on this one or the beautiful black one, so fingers crossed they are both hens.....
