I've read thru this thread a bit but cant figure out what my babies could be.

They were in the yellow chick trough at TSC and the sign on the trough said potential breeds : RIR, Black Sex Link , Barred Rock and Isa Brown.

Well we know they're not Barred Rocks or Black Sex LInks ( which I did get at Rural King a week later wooo hooo ) because they're yellow.....

I bought 6 and one died ( sniff sniff ) and one of the 6 I believe is at least a week older because it was three times the size as the others.

These babies are a light yellow and they have little black speck's here and there . One even has one black speck on each side of it's beak. Pretty neat lookin.

I dont have any good pictures of the yellow babies but I could get one today. I picked them up on March 9th, and was told they were 3-4 day olds. I know the big huge one is several days older ( and I bet a roo as well just by how the tail feathers are growng ).

I also picked up 6 of the production reds that day from them as well but yet have to figure out what breed they are ( not that it matters with the reds ).

Im just really really really ( okay, you get the picture LOL ) curious as to what the yellow ones are or could be since I do not think they're any of the breeds listed on the trough .

The specks on the yellow babies are about the size of a fat marker point.
 
I have the same little light yellow with black spots chick from TSC and they are guessing a California White

I have never heard of that one before. I'll go check them out on a google search.

I hope that's not what they are. The hawks around here get the white chickens but dont bother the other colors. And honestly, I dont want white eggs.

Thank you for the reply. I did post a couple of photos.
 
I couldn't get your pictures to pull up for me, but from description, it sounds like you have Tetra Tints. I think they are supposed to be high producers of cream to light brown eggs.
 
Sorry. I dont know what I did wrong to get the photos to *not* show up. I asked the mod to pull that post.
