1 & 2 have a fair bit of white--I'm going to guess not Barnevelder. 6, 7, and I think 8 appear to have a lot more feathers than 3, 4, 5. I wonder if that's a breed difference? But 7 & 8 might easily be Barnevelders, while 6 is one of the pale chicks, so likely not a Barnevelder. Sorry, I'm...

Well that changes things a bit! Do we know if the "duckwing" was a silver duckwing? (Vs. a gold duckwing) If there's silver involved, then some of his chicks should have silver (white) in their feathers instead of brown/gold. (There would probably be some with gold from the Welsummer side of...
