Very minor difference in color but the chick on the right is lighter than the chick on the left...
Different genders or different genes?
Chick on the right could have the barring gene. They also look like they have the wild type pattern. Could that be the case?

I think wild-type is likely.
I don't know about barring and/or gender differences.

More Bismark x Shiva babies!
I would imagine that the chicks on the left do not have the RSY diluter gene as they don't show that greyish color like the ones on the right. Super excited to see how they turn out.

I just realized that I didn't post the picture of Bismark when he was a baby. Shiva was the same color as well. We kept one of the yellowish chicks and it turned out to be a buffish shouldered bird. We kept Bismark over the other male because the other male had a small crest, Cr/cr+.
Bismark in the center. I believe the chick on the top was the buffish shouldered male pictured below.
I'm thinking about making an excel sheet to keep track of the breeding line with pictures. Unless there's a program out there that can do it for me...

We did it!!!
We hatched two wild type chicks, with one possibly having the dilute gene?
Both are Bismark x Shiva.
Fingers crossed that they're also blue egg layers and long tailed.
Bismarks tail is coming in slowly but surely.

More chicks!
All of the new Bismark x Shiva that might be wild type.
All of the new Bismark x Cream chicks. We'll be keeping the light colored one at the bottom.
The Bismark x Shiva wild types from last hatch.
Lots of genes to choose from and stabilize, but it'll be worth it
