Lemon Millefleur Sablepoots

Hi, just wondered if anyone knew if you can sex lemon millefleur sablepoot chicks by their colour as I have two chicks that are darker than the others or is this just coincidence :?

Thanks NCOTB 17 - I can by looking at the general aspect of the bird from about 6 weeks,especially from the comb which develops quicker on the male than the female - but at about 2 months they all look the same again - the darker colour is a good thing normally, too many L.M sabelpoots are too pale - almost cream.. I took these pikkis this weekend of one of my LM sabelpoot breeding pens

Their foot feathering is almost totally knackered now but as it's the end of the show season now it doesn't really matter.
Post a pikki of your chicks so I can see if I can tell 17

Your pen looks wonderful Dorinda think I'll put a couple of branches in with mine. Wish I had of had a dark boy from you now 09 I adore them.

I've still got one - not as dark as your girls, which isn't a bad thing - if you can pick him up from reading show you can have him, someone from up here is talking down another sabelpoot of mine and a trio of Cochins, and I'm sure he wouldn't mind taking another little boy

Yes please Dorinda am just waiting to hear back from someone local Foxy, that is very kind of you to offer we are about hour & half from Cardiff, so would be possible.
