Help! My new babies don't look anything like the others.

I have a barred rock rooster and 2 silver wyandotte hens and I hatched out 8 of their eggs last weekend. But now I have 2 light yellow with chipmunk markings, 2 dark golden with chipmunk markings and 4 black and white with the dots on their heads which is what their parents looked liked when chicks. Has anyone ever had that happen?

Well, you just hatched out some baby mutt eggs so I'm sure that color mix as babies is normal! Congrats on the new ones! They will make a colorful flock as they grow up!

Thanks! I was thinking that too. I love how different they are and how colorful the flock will be.
