Does this look irregular to you guys? Falcon is a normal chick. umm 23 days old today as i recall.. here are some pics!

(falcon is in the back)

Here is a really good one, does it look weird?? its lighter then the top of his head.. and kinda wing shaped

My NG Englsih zebra hen has cheeks like these, so do many BB hens.

So hen then? Neither Mom / dad / gus have it, only falcon. And tahny' s is funny to

Yes, I would say hen then. Or a BB hen, but I do not think he/she is BB. Also, it could be a juvie thing. Once he/she molts they will most likely be lost. Every bird is defferent, even normals. Like my hen, she is the only hen I have had with these cheek patches.

So i may have two hens and a cock? I really doubt bb as neither lux nor lolita are bb..Mor so i thought.. i like the cheek though, its cute!

Seems like it to me, wait until they molt, they may lose the cheeks, or it could be the shape of their cheek patch if they are males

Thats what i thought at first. Cqnnot wqit til they feather in! I hope its two cocks and a hen though. Thanks for the help Dante!

No problem! And here, there is always the oppostie of what you want/need!

haha yeah i know! i really really want two males! but i could end up with two females.. or all females... what a joy, nature!

what do you think is odd about them?
look normal to me.
But the thin tear mark
indicates that the birds might be BB splits.

can you maybe post two more photos of the dad?
front and side..

I think she means the shape, and I was also looking at the tear. Also try getting pictures of the parents tail bars!

Here are pics of dad, i highly doubt that he is BB
here are as many GOOD pics of Lux as i can find
Sorry if there are repeat pictures.. he looks completely normal to me. how does the tear suggest bb?
he does have a pretty big cheek patch and a lot of flanks.. but they are not distorted at all by what i know..

Because with BB the cheeks are enlarged, the hens tears are reduced. Get a few photos of mom as ell, he doesn't look split to BB though

thats what i said, nothing of markings are distorted like a BB, mom looks normal to me also... could it be possible to have the great grand parents split to BB?? so that it is still in the genes but is not apparent at all?? just a thought.. here are pics of Lolita. she looks completely normal to me to.
her belly is pretty buff, but she is a hen..
and again, no distortion of the tail feathers..

Remember that post about her wings? i thought she had some weird split or mutation? could the brown/ish be actually a very light orange lacing? i read that is a sign of a split to BB
here this one is really good. it shows the really buff on her back:
