Adults or Chicks?

  • Indigo_Horse by Indigo_Horse

    It seems like a common problem, but- if you can't tell (like you can only see part of a Gentoo), should you mark it as a chick or an adult?

    If you can't tell, it is best to mark it as an adult. You can often tell in gentoos because only the adults (or very old, moulted chicks) have the white band marking around their head.
