BLRW'S with white spot on head

[marymac]

My silky hatched 5 BLRW eggs. I have 2 dark ones and 2 light ones and 1 mixed dark and light. My 2 dark ones both have a very white spot on top of their heads. Could this mean they are males? Or does this not mean anything in this breed?

I don't know what it means.....None of mine have ever hatched with a white spot on it's head.

Here's a photo of one. Not very good, but you can see the white spot.

The other one is right beside it, but the white blends in with mamma.

Are they as dark as they look in the picture? Are they chipmunked striped at all?
Here's what one group of mine looked like.

I have 2 light ones 1 mixed one and 2 that are pretty dark. Here are a couple more pics.

It will be interesting to see how they turn out. I've never seen any that dark without any chipmunk striping.

They look more like barred rocks IMO.

Well I sure hope they are BLRW, that's what I paid for from someone that sells their eggs here regularly and that's what they were marked as. I'll be real disappointed if they aren't.

I think I'd pm them and ask what other kinds of eggs they have.
