These chicks are two weeks old. I just noticed today that two of them have tiny wings for the size of the body.

The breeds I got were Kraienkoppe, mixed game, and a mixed breed Dorking-Sussex.

I'm assuming that this is part of the mixed game group, but in reality I have no way of knowing.

Any ideas? I'm pretty sure at least one of the two is male, so maybe this is a gender difference?

Dorking/Sussex crosses would have white legs, not yellow, so that rules that cross out for these chicks.

A closeup of their combs would be helpful. Kraienkoppes should have small walnut combs, not single combs.
 
Hope these work. The other, the brown one above, refuses to show anything except his butt to the camera.

Thanks. With the patterns being so similar I'm going tentatively with all 3 being Kraienkoppe.
