Title: Can we tell the eyases apart yet?
Post by: Shaky on 26-May-20, 02:24:56 PM

Obviously the BBF eyas is easily identified, but can you tell the difference between the two BYFs?

Is BBF going to be Roc?

Maybe.

Won't really be able to tell until their feathers come in. I'm still working on genders!

I'm waiting for them to get back into the nest box and stand up side by side. That should give us their relative heights and leg diameters. From that we can hopefully determine their gender.

Maybe we'll get that pose tomorrow morning.

Not all 3 in a line but it looks like Blue feet has thinner legs than the one beside it.

I noticed that too, but BBF does not look any smaller than BYF. Of course, BYF appears to be younger than BBF, so that could explain why it isn't bigger.

When BBF was on the poop deck with the other BYF last night, it appeared to me that the BYF was bigger.

I'm thinking 2 girls and BBF is a boy. BBF looks smaller in this pic...starting to lose the fluff factor. The one on the left is still flat on it's haunches but the feet look about the same size as th middle one.

The 2 BYFs look just about the same size here.

It looks like it's going to be awhile before we can tell the BYFs apart.

If they stay looking like this we could probably tell them apart.

Oldest, Youngest, Middlest?

Agreed. I had thought BBF was first hatched when he was the first to wander away from the fluff pile into the corner.

When they get their brown feathers and their masks, we might have a better chance at telling them apart.

Looks like their masks may be different. Far right has more light colored feathers showing. I hope that holds true!

The 2 BYFs. The one on the right looks a teensy bit taller but she has a few talons on the edge of the box. I would say they're the same size.

Gonna be hard to tell the two girls apart, but I agree that it is probably two girls and a boy.

Title: Re: Can we tell the eyases apart yet?

I can tell the 2 girls apart by sound but not by sight yet. One has a deeper raspier voice. The other sounds a lot like the male.

I swear these 2 sisters came from the same egg. They're twins.

I disagree. Their faces are distinct.

First...BBF has almost no malar stripe.

Sister A in front has a dark head and small malar stripe. Sister B in the box has a lighter head with a malar stripe almost to her eye. And I can just about see a light eyebrow under the mohawk.

I had a feeling that would get someone to post something. Excellent observation, Ei.

Now we can announce their names just as soon as I can type it up in Imprints.

LOL! I was actually running through the archive for feedings and saw them all together this afternoon. I didn't see your post until I got here to post what I saw!

And Joyce trained me well in IDing malar stripes!

Nice comparison of masks on the two girls.
