having hatched numerous chicks i can say that all chicks are not yellow. in my experience the yellow chicks become white or pale coloured hens, i have hatched grey chicks, brown chicks & black chicks
No. all chicks do not start out yellow. The chicks you see in advertising pictures and in magazines are photographed more often for a number of reasons. The yellow balls of fluff are cuter than a mottled brown/ white or all black chick. More distinguishable as the "chick" the general public expects to see. The majority of chicks hatched in spring (Easter) by hatcheries are of a certain breed (a cross between a Plymouth rock and a leghorn) and usually used for meat production. A bit ironic that the advertising media has chosen the cute photogenic chick with the shortest lifespan for an icon.
The Wizard of Oz (1939). In the beginning of the movie, as the storm is gathering strength, Aunt Em is busy trying to get the new yellow chicks counted, settled and safe from the storm.
At 12 weeks old, chicken chicks will have grown significantly in size and will start to develop their adult feathers. They will also be more active and curious, exploring their surroundings with more confidence. By this age, you should be able to see their mature coloring and feather patterns starting to come in.
NO, neither breed is sexlinked. What you need to do is breed a Rhode Island Red or New Hampshire rooster with a Barred Rock(Black Stars) or Rhode Island Red or New Hampshire rooster and a Silver Laced Wyandotte, Rhode Island White or Delaware hen(all Red Stars) and you will get sexlinked chicks. The chicks that hatch out solid black are pullets(hens) and the chicks that hatch out black but with a large yellow dot on top of their heads are cockerels(males).This answer is wrong. The rooster has to be the Rhode Island Red and the hen the White Leghorn. The pullets will have reddish fluff and the males will have yellow fluff leading to white feathers.
Precocial chicks are born with feathers, open eyes, and are able to move around independently shortly after hatching, whereas altricial chicks are born naked, with closed eyes, and are completely dependent on their parents for care. Precocial chicks have a higher level of maturity at birth compared to altricial chicks.
Chicks as in baby chickens. Chicks are a yellow/blonde colour.
Yellow chicks are often the result of certain breeds or genetics, and their feather color can change as they mature. While some yellow chicks may develop white feathers as adults, others could turn out to be various shades or colors, depending on their specific breed and genetics. Therefore, not all yellow chicks will become white; their adult coloring can vary significantly.

because of the yellow eyes
Any color, it depends on what species it is thoughum... yellow?
yellow Chicks come in many colors. Yellow is know best as many of these live chicks are shown in spring around easter. This is not the only color. The breed of the chick determines color. Right now I have black Cochin chicks. Brown (buff) and white Araucana chicks.
yes there are but the most common colors are black and yellow
From the eggs we eat, there are chicks inside the egg. (the yellow part) Believe it or not, sometimes there are two chicks in one egg! One time my brother opened a hard boiled egg that had two small yellow circles.
yellow
Dumb Chicks ? or they might be the all yellow type ... and they are both boys and girls and only time will tell .
Each chicken breed will have different characteristics for their chicks.For example: White Leghorn chicks are a cute lemon yellow color, that will change as they grow and get their adult feathers in, which are white. Golden Sex Link chicks are a soft, reddish yellow, with darker stripes on their back for the females, and a creamy white for the males. Black Australorp chicks are black with a little bit of yellow in their fluff, but grow into black chickens as they get their adult feathers in.If you mix up your chicks, the only way to tell them apart would be to wait until they get older and can determine what breed they are. Or you can put a spiral leg band on them (anklets!) and as they grow older, change the bands out for larger bands to accomodate thicker legs.
