On monday we received 4 day-old SLW pullets from a hatchery delivered to the feed store. Is it normal that the two pairs have different markings on their back? Don't know their parentage other than they are supposed to be SLWs.



And...
I know they can develop their feathers at different rates, but the stripy ones are both growing their flight feathers faster than the dark ones.

Also, I'm worried that Phoenix (my personal fav) could be a male because his comb looks a little different..

Please tell me they are all pullets. I could deal with 2 being something other than a pure SLW but I'd hate to give one up because we can't keep a rooster.
 
they all look slw but to young to tell gender. and it looks like they all have single combs, which wyandottes are not suppose to have but its very common in hatchery birds

heres some pics of SLW chicks, they look like urs. i got the pics from feathersite



heres what there combs are suppose to look like
