Red Chipmunk Chick

[Justadoz3nshort]

Hello all!

So this really isn't a breed question and definitely not a gender question as they are only 24 hours old BUT has anyone ever seen a red and yellow chipmunk chick? I've seen the usualy brown but this one sent me for a loop lol.

There is really no way of me knowing potential breed as it is a massive barnyard mix with endless possibilities from a local farm near me. I'm just curious as this is a first for me in quite a few years of raising chickens and hatching. If anyone has had a chick like this and have adult photos, please share! I'm intrigued

I've had some that have more dark yellow stripes than the red stripes like yours.
Mine are splash gold duckwing.

Oh very cool, thank you for sharing! It hatched from a large (medium shade) brown egg.

I raise leghorns and work on Project colors so I know exactly what mine is. Maybe later I'll look for a pic or take one but don't hold your breath. All I've had so far were females and as adults they look pretty much like a red pyle female.
It'll be interested to see how yours turns out.

Due to my areas no rooster bi-law I will only be keeping it until it's gender is known so I may not show it at maturity if it's male. Time will tell
