this is Apple, she is 2 weeks old. i think she might be a frizzle and she used to look like a normal brown chipmunk chick and now she is turning white:barnie. only one other chick i have is turning white along with her. what could she be?

Unfortunately not a frizzle, you'd be able to tell for sure by day 3, she looks like a mix (although I suck at identifying chicks), where did you get her?
Chicks will change colors until they have their first molt from what I understand, so if you're going for certain colors best to find the breed you like instead of chick coloring.
 
You know, I have gotten chicks from Hoovers before and they have been pretty good about keeping their breeds right. Lately, however, they have been really jumbled up. TSC orders from Hoovers and 8 of the 12 chicks I got are not correct, possibly more as I'm waiting for them to age. At first I thought the issue was with TSC and it very well could be but I'm starting to think Hoovers also messed up.
