Why does this bronze poult have a different wing pattern than the other?

I currently have ten 2-3 week old poults out with their mama, two are bronzes. They look different now that they have wing feathers, why is this? Is the more detailed one a different variety? The mother is an Auburn, father is a Blue Red Bronze. There is a very small chance the 2nd poult (the one with more wing details.) actually has my Rusty Black as its mother, but I doubt it.


First picture is the less detailed one, the rest are the one with the different wing pattern.

Sounds like the parents are of mixed colors? That would explain the difference in the poults coloring.
Well, yes, but that’d still mean these 2 poults are genetically different.

I was just curious about the difference. Doesn’t matter anymore because I already sold them to a friend, and they are no longer my concern. I’ve just never seen this difference in bronze poults wings before.
