Is this a blue wyandotte chick?

[ButtonquailGirl14]

Well there’s one way to tell for sure, it should be a Wyandotte if it has a rosecomb.

yes!

She looks like a Blue Wyandotte to me! Though it's possible she could be another blue breed, they look so similar as babies.

My local Wilco store gets Blue Wyandottes quite often. Here's my girl Blueberry at different stages. The main difference is the rose comb which appears much flatter and wider than a single comb. My girl also developed wattles and got red so much earlier than my other chicks I thought she was a cockerel. Also, I don't know if it's normal, but her legs turned real dark real fast. Guess sometimes you can get odd traits with hatchery stock.

Blueberry is beautiful! She has the same coloring as my chick, even the bit of white in the wings, and the beak. I was wondering about the black at the top of the legs of my chick, but it looks like Blueberry had some too as a little chick. I am not sure how to tell anything about the comb at this age. My chick Aquila is very confident and curious, and even though she is a week younger than my other three chicks, she pushes them out of her way

Thank you!
Her comb might take another week or 2 to become apparent, and her legs could very well turn black like mine. Hatcheries don't necessarily have SOP (standard of perfection) stock... genetics are a very tricky business:

and quantity is more important than quality to them. But to me, I don't mind.

I'm sure you're going to end up with a very beautiful fluffy blue bird no matter what!

Privett Hatchery, which sells to many feed stores have both Blue Wyandottes & Blue Australorps. I picked up 8 Blue Wyandottes yesterday from Privett that I ordered thru my feed store & my chicks look like yours. Can't tell about the combs yet. The sister store to my store that is pretty far away is getting Blue Australorps next month. I just wanted blue chickens! Anyone know what color splash chicks are? Mine range from light to dark gray & some have little white wing tips already.

Sounds like they could be splash if you start to see some bits of black coming in on the feathers.

Funny, for some reason I assumed splash chicks would be yellow, like most white chickens! Anxious to see how they turn out!

I can't tell by those photos, but if the chick doesn't have a single comb-then it looks like a blue wyandotte. We used to raise them for several years. The last chick you posted looks like a splash color of the Blue laced Wyandotte variety. They are different varieties.
