Dark color splashes in Wheaten variety down
Holiday Hatch:
Here are the rest of the photos. I learn something new everytime I post on the ABC Forum. Thanks - Linda
Mike Gilbert:
Looks like normal wheaten coloring to me. What is your concern?
Holiday Hatch:
The dark splashes on the back are something I've not seen before in my Wheaten/Blue Wheaten chicks. The chicks are usually pure yellow or yellow/white with the tiny spot on the head that I mentioned. The markings on the back in these photos is unusual to me. This chick is a week old now and the markings on the back were noticeable when it hatched. Thanks - Linda

Why don't you toe punch this chick so you can compare it to your others when full grown? That way you will be able to see what difference, if any, there is. My money says it turns out better than average.
Holiday Hatch:
Thank you Mike, that sounds good and I'm curious to see how it turns out myself. Linda
