Hi everyone!
I ordered 5 SLW from Mt Healthy and they're 10 days old now. I've got more chicks than that but all the other breeds I ordered seem pretty much alike. However, one of the SLW is much different than the others. Its comb is different and it's coloring is different in some ways. It's personality is also REALLY different. This chick would run TO you when everyone else would run away. It's the first to take treats from your hands, will always come up to my hands in the brooder box and doesn't care one bit if I pick it up. It also was the first one to fly to the top of the first brooder box. Oh, and it tried to spur my Mom's hand when it was three days old and she reached in
Here it is:

And here is one of the other SLW:

I realize I'm not going to get perfect SLW from the hatchery but this one is either a major mutt, there's an enormous difference in SLW chick coloring or this ain't no SLW
