Isa Male or female

[Stephh0701]

I already posted in introductions but wasn't sure how much traffic that got so I'll post here too. I have 6 baby isa browns. The hatchery said they were all girls and I dont really have a reason to not believe them but one chick in particular looks very light (almost white) could she really be a he? Or am I worried about nothing?

Did you receive the number you ordered or was there an extra?

It's a local hatchery so I picked them up and I ordered 6. They gave me 6. This one just looks different to me and I cant find very many examples of a Male online.

Just that they're white.

As chicks, all red sex links are either hatched yellow or orangy red. The yellow ones are male, the orange ones are female. As they grow up they feather out like this:

So would you say the little light one I posted is a Male? Its definitely not orange, but it's not but it's not completely yellow either.

If it's not an "oops"on the breed, yes, but that's pretty mind boggling given the whole point of sex links is to be 100% sexable

I guess we'll see in a few weeks time if shes a he or just a mix up on the breed (although even that's odd as this company imports the eggs and hatches them there). I wouldn't mind a rooster at all to be honest so either way I'd be fine. Just was wondering if my novice chicken knowledge was wrong in thinking it was a boy. Thanks for all the help!
