Thanks guys! I was getting really worried because she also breeds dominiques. Anyway I'll post more pics as they come!

In my experience when a white chick hatches with tinted down color it indicates a good chick.

These birds will maintain their "whiteness" instead of yellowing in the sun.

If you don't mind me asking, did these came from north Georgia?

 

[chickfillhay]

Well, featherfooted....I'm not sure but what I can tell you is that they came from Blue Ridge GA 30513.

Why? As Duran Duran woud sing, Is there something I should knowwww?

I got some eggs from them and most never developed from day one. Out of 24 eggs only 5 hatched and only 2 where white. I had hope that since they only had to travel from north Georgia to central Georgia that I would have a good hatch. I was just wondering if I just had a bad hatch or this was normal hatch for eggs from them.

Oh boy does THAT sound familiar!
I too bought 24 eggs. I currently have 6 chicks AND only 2 are white. un

Just to ease your mind, those are definitely not Dominique chicks. Here's a picture of a baby Dominique:
