Odd colored chick...

If those are the only possible parents... I would say the chick could be either a recessive white(unlikely due to chick down color)

I also believe it could be an allelic mutation occurring at the sex linked barring locus. The Sex linked extreme dilution would produce nearly white birds.

Thanks for the responses everyone it's always neat to learn more. I'm super excited to see how it will turn out. I'll keep this thread updated with pictures as it grows.

Yes, those are the only possible parents.

Please be sure to post regular photos as the chick develops.

I definitely will.

My bet would be an allelic mutation of sex linked barring(B^Sed) and that the chick is a female

Some better pictures now that it's fluffed up.

Also the two normal barred rock chicks. Looks like its got slightly darker feathers on its back.
