Where you able to tell the chanchos apart? Do you have any pictures of them. I'm also having a hard time telling them apart.

They look great! my problem is I think I have two female, my smaller chancho laid eggs twice. The bigger one doesn't fertilize them that's why I think I have two female. I'll post some pics let me know what you think.
