I was wondering if anyone can answer this. Why are my hatchery quality chicks so different in color? They are Crele OEG Bantams. I ordered 15 of them.

Because they are hatchery quality. A breeder's chicks would all be alike, little to no variances in color, because they follow a breed standard. A commercial hatchery does not breed to a standard, they just breed birds.

because they are an Autosexing breed, males have different chick down color than females...thats why, sorry I took so long.. I just found this thread

Funny!!! That post was in 2009. I didn't know at the time that males were different than females. I've come a long way since then.
