Rescue chick looking for info 🐤💛

[Painted Calls]

It's genetics.
The eyes are slowly changing to orange, they're green right now.


Does this help any with the differences?View attachment 2755536View attachment 2755537I'm just not getting the similarities you are seeing.

Maybe explain wild type patterns? How chicks change to look 100% different.

Thank you for your understanding. I have seen other chicks before but haven't never really had any interest until I saved this one. I do believe there's a lot more features that are not similar besides the feathers. In fact everything about it is completely different.

You're welcome.

It's better for me to show the differences with pictures, it's hard for me to explain in words with every detail. If that makes sense?

They do keep the eye stripes for awhile though.

Find some good Google images. Some people learn by seeing rather than reading as well.

OP - your chick is definitely a Silver Duckwing OEGB cockerel.

To me the baby chick pictures here compared to the adult pictures are still very similar compared to how my chicken looks. Yours still kept the same similar blondish coloring and dark eyes.

I'll give you a good example. A Barred Rock starts out black with a white spot on its head, black/brown eyes, it grows up to have barring and yellow/orange eyes.

How did this come to be a rescue chick? Can the previous owners tell you the breed?

If I have examples with my own birds, I don't have to google.

I do learn better with visuals, combined with explanations.

All my chicks start with dark blue eyes.
