I May Be Imagining Things

[3KillerBs]

But this little one from my Welp 25 look like she might have barring on the wings. As far as I can find out, Welp doesn't have blue barred or blue cuckoo anything -- so maybe it's just my imagination.

Having an assorted pack is both fun and frustrating. LOL!

Looks a bit like barring to me as well.

I didn't notice a head spot on any of the blue chicks, but this showed up as the wing feathers grew.

I have pheonixes that do that (different colors, but barring and no head spot)

I don't know if Welp is trying out some new breeds and sticking the chicks into assorted packs or if I've just got a couple "hatchery quality" variations but it's weird that I now have two chicks that don't match anything in their catalog.

I presume I'll be able to ID them once they're well-feathered.

It's possible. I possibly got chicks Ideal is releasing next year in a nonlabled bin at TSC

You can see how stripey the wings look in this group shot around the mash dish (top right).

Not like the blurry, incipient lacing of the normal blues.

I'll get pictures tonight, that is what I've been noticing popping up, but light purple and dark red instead of blue shades

So it's hard to see, they don't like me and I didn't get the pullet last night, just the cockerel with like 1 barred feather and the chicks which all don't like me at all. But you can kinda see just enough and the male picture if you zoom in I got pretty good

That does look barred. Weird!

@The Moonshiner answer your freaking tags. Is this chick barred? Explain.
