any idea what the little "tiger face" chick is?

[sunflowerparrot]

There are 2 of them (one is only showing his rear side lol) ... plus a black, a yellow and a brown-copper chick. They are approximately 4-5 weeks old.

No idea but he is interesting!

The other one looks just like him too! They're both getting darker and darker by the day but the tiger look on their face was like that since they were a few days old.. their whole body was like that for their first 2-3 weeks too.. then they started losing the stripes and getting dark feathers.

Hmmm...I know sicilian buttercup chicks start out with a "tiger face" like that. Can you tell if their combs look different from the other chicks? buttercups have a comb that will grow out kinda like a double comb with a cup shape in the middle. Don't know for sure if yours are the buttercups, but whatever you have there sure are beauties!

Looks like my Barnevelders.

My guess is no on the Marans, raised out some Black Coppers last year and they looked nothing like that.

This bird has a almost a 'wild bird' look to it, I've raised Americuanas with tiger faces but those were both brown birds. A lot of bantams will show striping on their heads and/or backs so this is a really tough call.
Closest guess I would have is some sort of gamefowl possibly, I raised a Shamo this year that looked similar. Sorry but that's all the guesses I've got!

I can't wait to see what they grow into

I can't quite tell what kind of comb it has...if it is a really flat peacomb, it could be a Dark Cornish...mine looked exactly like that.
