[The Prairie]

The chick down its a mixture of Wildtype and Wheaten so the chick is actually e+/eWh, as to how it will grow its difficult to say because chick down is really not representative of how they will grow.

Wildtype chick down

Wheaten Chick down

When combined the e+/eWh will be a light or yellow chick down with a dorsal strip and also an eye stripe.

So this little is coming in a greyish brown wing color, turns out it has a peacomb and is likely a rooster as it's already coming in very red. I only have 6 hens with ean combs. A GLW, two SLW, a Splash LW, and two Light Brahmas. My roosters are a Red Barred Dark chested RIRxCCL, a very light 3/4CCL 1/4RIR, and a who the heck knows Dominant White"Favorelles"(was supposed to be Salmon, had all the normal Fav extras). The chick has clean legs, no beard, normal number of toes so I'm leaning towards not the Brahmas or the Favorelles, and can't be out of the Splash as would be blue but still lots of options, not sure if anyone has any insight on who the parents may be?
