I was going by my VERY limited experience with my BR's. One has a much larger comb than the others, and is showing a little color in the wattles. No worries tho, I'll take what ever I end up with. They are starting to tolerate the giant killer hand that feeds them now.

They where hatched on...June 21st (one a day later), so they are now...four weeks and 3-4 days old, give or take

The third black (with more white/yellow) has a limp leg right now

He's a tough cookie though, I'm crossing my fingers and doing a rain dance that he makes it.

Jody,
So this would be my Lavender mottled that is throwing me all the mottled chicks, right?

All the others have dark legs and beaks.

Yes Kathy, those white legs are an indicator of the mottling gene being present. I would love to see her after she moults to see if the white specks come out more.

She will be a year old around Halloween, so I expect she may be molting this fall. I will watch for that now that you mentioned it.
