I think she will stay white.This may be a dumb question but I'm going to ask it anyway. For chicks that are 5 weeks old, the feathers they have at that point.... will they change much or grow in differently or pretty much stay the way they are with little variation? Does that make sense? For example: My lakeshore egger chick was yellow as a chick. Her feathers came in white. Is it a safe bet that she will continue to be white as she becomes an adult?
On Meyer Hatchery website says, "Because the Lakeshore Egger has been developed out of several breeds, chick color can vary from yellow to buff and some even have a dark stripe down their backs. Adults of this breed can be white with buff or red patches or nearly solid red with some black."
She is just solid white. I'm not seeing any patches or hints of color at all. It's just a curiosity thing for me.
Here's a pic of her. It may be silly but I LOVE her little mohawk/tuft of hair she has.
