Those babies are identical to all fulica babies I've seen, and the adults look like fulica too. Being off ebay, they almost certainly are too.

I figured they probably were, but had to ask, just to make sure. It must be hard to tell with babies. They are adorable no matter what they are! *grins*

Thankyou  I am. Yes, it is mostly Fulica sold on ebay unless it actually says it's a different species. So The adults look like my adult Fulica also. And I'm sure my babies were like that. |

Now I need names for them. I will probably wait till they are bigger and their personalities are more distinct. I am sure they will let me know what their names are when they are ready *laughs*

Lol I name mine as soon as I get them. It gets a bit annoying if you're talking about them to someone and you have to go the bigger snail/snail number one/big eater etc all the time Lol.
