I think it is a roll of the dice as to what we get with the EE's. I picked two, one dark and one light grey. Here they are then and now at nearly 7 wks. Any guesses what they will look like when

completely feathered out?

 

Light grey far firght

First...they are adorable!

 

Second, I don't know if any will be super light. What color are the wing feathers on the last one?

That second picture was just a close up of one of the others.  but for sure, not a buff one since the wing feathers are already starting to come in and they're certainly not buff! :(

 

I might take a trip to the feed store on friday and check those out, maybe give one of the original ones to my neighbor LOL
