I just hatched 7 Austrolorp eggs that I bought from the local hatchery, and I have raised Lorps from chicks 2x before this. One of my last chicks to hatch looks different from the others: a lot more yellow around his temples and completly yellow wings instead of just the tips, and the yellow is a darker yellow than the creamy color on the other chicks (harder to see on the pic with the yellow lighting). I am wondering if I may have possibly ended up with a cross breed? Has anyone else ever seen this kind of coloring on their Austrolorps? I haven't, but was just wondering if it is possible. If it is a cross breed, I am going to have to watch him more closely to make sure it is a "him" since I dont know what cross breeding would do the the feather sexing that these chicks are bred for.
