Chicken Breed Focus - Delaware

Pics
Date sort Score sort
In this batch of chicks I got last week, I have four Delaware chicks. Two of them have wings the same color as their bodies, and the other two have darker wings, a sort of gray barring. Does this indicate gender, or is it just a difference in chicks?

Here are a couple photos to show the difference...the two on the left in the first, and on the right in the second.

I'm glad to know it's not necessarily a gender indication. One particular chick has decided I'm a great amusement park ride (at 1.5 wks old) and I'm becoming awfully fond of her. I know it could still be a him, but I only get to keep one rooster until my neighbors build their house, and out of twenty chicks, the odds are I'll have more than one.
