Welsummer pics needed

[moodlymoo]

I have 2 welsummers both are from the same hatch/parents, both hatched the same day, BUT one is huge and lighter in color and the other is a bit smaller and very dark rich mahogany-ish in color. Is this normal?

Here is a picture of a Wellie chick. All of mine were this color.

Maybe I should have been clearer...I need pics of chicks age 6-8 weeks old

 

[moodlymoo]

I cant find pics on google or bing of appropriate age

I don't have any great shots, but I have a few pictures of the right age. Making no claims as to quality, but this might help:

6-week old female

6-week old males

6-week old female and male

7-week old male

Here are some photos of my Welsummer pair from above at 6 weeks, female at bottom left, male at upper right:

Gwyneth (Female) at about 7 weeks. Her colors are quite a bit brighter than they appear in this photo.

Pippin (Roo) at about 7 weeks. Pippin's also a lot richer colored than in the photo.

Hope this helps!
