light yellow with red spot on head

Sorry no pictures, but does anyone know what type of chick is light yellow with a red splotch on the top of their head? I rec'd them from MM hatchery but didn't order them, so I have no idea what they are!

We really need pictures. The red spot sounds like an identification marking to me though.

maybe a sex link?

If you got them from McMurray, look on the inside of the lid. It sounds like "packaging peanuts." My order from McMurray included 10 light yellow chicks in addition to my order. They all had green spots on their heads. The inside of the box lid stated that "Red Star males have been added for warmth."

Mine, too. Just got mine today, though. All the chicks were alive and kicking, so I guess the extra chicks did make for a warmer ride!
