Colombian Wyandotte chick looks different from her friends?

[Gaiea]

Hello! I ordered 3 Colombian Wyandotte chicks from cackle and they gave me 4. I’m wondering if the 4th is a different breed, due to slightly different color and patterns. None of the other Wyandotte chicks are getting the little black spots on their feathers. Any insight?

Some Columbians get speckles where there shouldn't be any black. Sometimes they disappear while they reach adult size, sometimes they do not

Ah interesting. She’s the only one with any significant variation, here’s a comparison pic (4 weeks old)

Be warned, “packing peanuts” are often male chicks.

When the hatchery sends "extra" chicks, they are usually males.

Yep. I always tell them to not send any extras.
