Okay, these are my first chicks! I have these mixed chicks, all born on the same day, and I have absolutely no idea what to expect. I got them at one week. They all started out light yellow with darker yellow heads, and a couple of darker yellow stripes, except for the darkest one which was dark yellow and brown all over when I got her.
At 2 weeks, the dark chick is the first to feather out, and some of the other chicks are following suit.
Tomorrow will be 3 weeks, and they are really feathering out. Dark brown chick now has brown/red feathers with gold and black flecks. A couple of the yellow chicks are growing in reddish feathers, and some chicks are staying with the light yellow feathers.
Since Golden Comets are a hybrid, and they have been mixed with RIR, does anyone have any idea what these chicks are going to end up looking like? I didn't realize feather color changed so drastically! Also, I'm taking all bets on pullets or cockerels. If anything, I hope everyone enjoys the pictures.
