What is it? May be the angle but looks low station but I'm biased. Healthy looking.

Dark version is wild-type (e+) while light version version is wheaton (the mutant). If dark version throws only dark version pullets unless bread to a wheaton, the e^(wh) is involved which is dominant. If two dark birds can throw a wheaton, then e^(y) involved which is recessive. Adult males can be tough to tell which they are but as chicks and juveniles the wild-type and wheatons are easy as pie to tell apart. Wild-types got a good chipmunk stripe with bars on brown flight feathers while wheatons are almost all yellow with wheaton flight feathers with little or no barring.

My brother came over to help with the brood pen and he told me he actually gets about 30% of the dark version pullets.
