Help identify, supposed to be GLW. Only one has white tips on feathers, is that normal?

I think that's really cool and unique looking. Where'd you get them? They're both GLW. The white spotting thing may be a defect, but I think it looks really cool! I wonder how it will feather out as an adult.

From a pullet bin at Stock and Field. The other two GLW show no sign of the white tips.
 
It will probably disappear once he molts and gets his adult feathers. Of course if you're VERY lucky and he keeps the mottling in adulthood you'll have a Tolbunt, a pattern usually only seen in Polish in the US, but is a Wyandotte pattern Europe.
 
Hatchery stock can come with a multitude of minor deviations from the breed standard when it comes to appearance… you also have to allow for the fact that this is the juvenile plumage and is not exactly what the adult plumage will look like once the bird has completed all of their juvenile malts and assumed their 1st full adult plumage. Chances are very good that this bird is going to look very different once it has done that, but it does in fact look like a gold laced wyandotte
