The middle chick was in the box at the time. It is exactly like the oldest one who is on the left, only with a pied spot on the back of the head. The youngest one is almost a spitting image of Kramer. Link to comment

I think the first photo looks male, and the second photo looks female, so it's back to the age old question: Do you see any white in real life? Link to comment

All I know is it sure bites like a hen,lol. It bites my hand,my shirt, I took my glasses off to get a better look and it was trying to bite the side piece of it. The other two rarely bite at all,lol. We were pleasantly surprised to have a Kramer throwback lol. We have nicknamed it mini Kramer. Link to comment

Paler around the nostrils isn't enough to go by, unless there is definite WHITE on the cere. Even though your previous pictures of this one haven't shown the cere very clearly, from what I could see, I was leaning toward boy already. Of course, you will know eventually, if the paleness turns into actual white, or if it grows up and gets a brown cere. "Mini Kramer"! I love it! Link to comment

As I understand, and anyone feel free to correct me if I am wrong here, but when the Spangle mutation was first bing developed, a large number of pieds were used. The spot seemed to suffer some sort of transference, and many spangles now have a spot on the back of their heads, although they are not dominant pieds, nor are they split recessive. Link to comment

The hen is Hedwig found in another thread. She has been indentified as a recessive pied. Kramer is a normal violet from what we know so far. They did throw a normal violet among the three chicks they have. It is the youngest one in the pics, hence why I call it mini Kramer at the moment. The middle chick is the only one out of the three that has that spot. We first thought something was wrong with it lol. Link to comment
