In the afternoon the chicks had their first outside excursion.

It was great to watch them explore and to get a close look at them in daylight. Although the closer look did raise a question in my mind. Most of the chicks look like this one, with big fluffy tails and pale combs:

But the boldest chick looks a bit different. It has a darker comb (not very obvious from this angle) and the tail is a lot smaller. I'm beginning to suspect that this one is not a girl chick at all.
