These chicks were hatched about May 1st. I got them from our local feed store after someone didn’t pick up their order.

Both were supposed to be Delawares and Chick 2 (white one) definitely looks it. But Chick 1 is a mystery to me. Both have black bars developing on their wing tips. Both started out pure, light yellow with no chipmunk stripes.

I’m also looking for any thoughts as to gender leanings. I’m not great at identifying sex until somebody crows or lays an egg.

Thanks in advance!
 
Yay! Yeah, Ive been googling and reading old BYC threads and nothing fits. Maybe a mix?
More info is needed. Egg color included. Adult markings (there's quite a lot of change change can occur). I've heard of yellow chicks coloring out red before...just can't remember breed....Buckeyes? Production reds? New Hampshire? Try looking into specific breeds like those

Just thought you might like to know you were spot on! I called the store and asked them what hatchery they order from (Dunlap) and then emailed the pics to Dunlap. They responded immediately and said she’s a New Hampshire Red!
