Are there several breeds that have a chipmonk pattern as chicks? I was given my chicks by the neighbor and he's not sure what breeds they are. He mentioned RIR but I don't see that RIR chicks have the chipmonk pattern. 4 of the 6 are large, black, and spotted and he said are probably BRs. The 2 smaller ones have the beautiful chipmonk colors with a diamond shape on their heads. It's amazing how different the personalities are. The black ones are better skilled at flying and are more friendly but the small "chipmonk" ones are the first to find treats. They seem smarter but more reserved.

Here's a pic:

not sure who's who's, but i know i have self blue, mille fluer, salmons, duckwings, wheatons and creles... LOL... but anyways, you can see that most have the chipmunk patern...
 
Well the pattern is definitely BB-red or Spangled. Now a countless amount of breeds come in this color and the breed will remain hidden until the feathers fill out
