Wheaton or Isabel?

[Slothinc]

I hatched an ameraucana chick that is from a pen that could have Isabel or Wheaton. Can you tell the difference between the two at hatch? I am guessing the chick is Wheaton because it looks darker yellow than I would imagine that an Isabella would be.

I also hatched two NN, parentage unknown and one is yellow and one has partridge stripes. Any guesses on what they may feather out as? Thanks! I don’t know much about yellow chick coloring!

The first chick is the ameraucana and the two together are the NN.

"Isabel Ameraucanas" are just lavender wheaten so they're probably both going to be yellow. Based on this picture they are pretty much the same.

Fortunately it will only take a couple of days before you know what color they are.
Without knowing for sure, it might be a buff Naked Neck and the darker a black-tailed gold.

Thanks so much @Amer ! Oh that is awesome, there still could be a chance at getting an Isabel ameraucana. And thanks for the NN insight as well. I might grow them out just to see how they end up.

@Amer I think the ameraucana might be Isabel! What do you think (or is it still too early to tell?)

Personally, I think so too!

Oh that would be so amazing! Do you know what the result would be of breeding this ameraucana (assuming she is Isabel) to a lavender bird?
