Definite single comb. Definite pattern on wings and the budding tail feathers but solid red, not chipmonk. No beard.

I still *think* the skin is pink, not yellow.

Welp doesn't carry the hard-to-ID, hatchery hybrid "eggers" -- though the paper catalog has a Dominate Color "Burst" Assorted (page 4), that variety is not listed online. It doesn't match the description of either the Easter Eggers or the Olive Eggers they sell.

I'm not gonna entirely rule out Easter Egger yet, since they can literally look like anything.

Do you think that the skin is yellow rather than white then?

The apparently pink feet is what's been confusing me. All the breeds Welp seels that have solid red chicks have yellow feet.

They may change as the chick gets older.

I've had chicks that had orange, or yellow legs turn white over time, or white/pale yellow turn white, slate, or green over time.
