These ones I think look alot more spotty and lighter than my 2. And relooking at the pictures of mine, i do think they look diff.
I lost 1 of the 2 a few days ago, just as feathers were starting. It got caught under feeder and didn't realize it until it was too late sadly. But the other one is getting a decent amount of feathers now, and I think it might be looking like a speckled sussex. So my guess is that the hatchery sent a different breed in place of the lakenvelders and didn't notify store. As they have done a few times before. But I guess when it starts laying, if the eggs are white, we'll have more research to figure out on the color. Haha

Thanks for coming back to update, so sorry you lost one. I did that same thing with a keet once. That's definitely not a Speckled Sussex, I think it might be a Dark Cornish. What hatchery are they from again?

Answer was hidden in post #1:

...chicks from Hoover hatchery...

I think it might be a Dark Cornish.

Back in post 14, OP put close-up photos of both chicks, showing the combs fairly clearly. They look like single combs to me--but a Dark Cornish should have a pea comb. Good point about the color pattern, though.

Maybe a Barnevelder?

Oh, missed that thanks. Definitely a rose or pea comb

Can you post a comb pic, @natrm83 ?

I know I'm replying weeks later but those look just like my Golden Campines did as chicks. They were incredibly similar to my Sicilian Buttercups but the comb is very distinctive.
