Single chick dark markings barnyard mix

[Wuick]

Hello everyone!
I just hatched out some barnyard mix chicks and was wondering what is going on with the coloring with this one.
All the chicks are white / yellow except biscuit (one other has a little black on its wings). I wondered if maybe this was a sexlink trait?
Pictures are of parents and the chick in question.
The hen is an EE. Not sure about the Roo.
These are the best pics I have of the parents. Sorry for the low quality.
Thanks for your help!

Your probably right about it being the sexlink trait. All my sexlinks has that, and it got darker over a few days.

Is this a marking your cockerels get?

Partly. When the chick gets older you’ll be able to tel more. Normally the male would be a lot darker but since they are a barnyard mix and that’s the only one sporting the trait, you may have to wait for a few weeks like usual. My cockerels do start out looking like that tho.

But it could just be that chick is unique lol

No, not a sex link trait. It’s just different, that’s all.

sorry, not to burst your bubble, but it is going to look different as and adult... I can't think of one breed of chick that keeps the colors it's down had..... Maybe mottling..
