I just looked at Welsummer chicks and they have a wild pattern. She had no pattern at all as a 3 day old solid chocolate. Does that sometimes happen?

I wonder if she is actually a Penedesenca like this one although they don’t say the colour http://chickenpic.blogspot.com/2008/06/penedesenca-chickens.html

That chick is a crele pattern, partridge chicks have the typical "wild type" stripes. Also Partridge Penedesca's have slate legs. If it was a solid colored chick and it turned into this pullet...I'm not sure what it is.

Agreed. I'd love to see a chick pic
