This is supposed to be a Delaware pullet, but seems to be getting darker instead of lighter? Thoughts? About 10 days old...

Easter egger would be fine with me! We were at the ranch store again today and they had some "rainbow chickens" and a few of them look like this one. So maybe that's it?

Happy to have her regardless!

That could be very well what she is! Mix ups can happen, either at the hatchery or the feed store.
 
She's growing so fast! Can't wait to see what she looks like fully grown. I've not had a gray and yellow chick like this before. My other experience with chipmunk stripes and eyeliner chicks were more brown and partridge colored.

I agree with Easter egger or some other type of hatchery hybrid. Those have mixed color genes, so you could end up with anything, but the chick looks close to silver partridge to me at this stage.
