Any ideas what color?

[Danny39]

This little chick hatched July 2nd from eggs I purchased at a swap meet, out of 4 this is the only one that hatched. Any ideas what color this chick might grow up to be? He/she is very yellow with white wings and the 2 little brownish red stripes down his back and behind his head. There is a little color in the tail as well. Thank you in advance!

Sure looks like a Blue Silver Pied.
That's the bad thing about getting eggs and not knowing what they came from, Ether way you do have a Nice looking peachick.

Yep...I would say Blue Silver Pied! Thanks for the website suggestion. I have him in with 2 little bantam chicks for company and I am feeding 24% gamebird starter, it is currently non medicated but they are in a brooder on pine shavings....do you see any problem with this? I am a little worried about the bantams getting to much protein. What is your opinion of medicated vs. non-medicated starter? The bantams are about 3 weeks old now and they were on a medicated starter until I put the peachick with them.

We use 20% medicated chick starter made by Dumor from Tractor Supply this will be good for all your chicks.

That is what I use for the chicken chicks, but I have read so many conflicting recommendations, anywhere from 20% to 30% for peachicks. Medicated/Non-medicated. Maybe I will just mix the 2 and hope for the best! Thanks for all your help.
