Light Brahma chick color ?

What is a chick that grows into a high quality Light Brahma?

What do you mean by good?

 

[Table4Six]

Welcome to BYC! When you say "good," do you mean show quality birds, breeding quality birds, etc.?

 

[BReeder!]

Let me start by saying that my Light Brahmas came from Farm & Fleet during chick days last Spring. They are hatchery stock, not from show lines to my knowledge. However, IMO they look better than any of the ones we seen at a fair last summer. I would be tempted to show them if I could spend the time working with them. Here's my Light Brahmas as chicks. They are the only white/yellow ones in the brooder in these pics.

Here's a video of the chicks just a few days old when we got them:

About 2 weeks old:

My just the other day. Not the best image picture, but they are hanging out in the coop with this arctic blast we have coming through and it's hard to get a good picture of them in there.

Does the yellow chick turn into high quality Light Brahms?

Have you looked into buying from a breeder? That would give you the best quality, taking into account that you find a good one. It is difficult to tell quality just by looking at chick fluff, they need time to fill out in their adult featheration.

I've never received a poor quality light brahma from a hatchery. You can probably find a breeder if you search online.
As far as color of the chick, I don't believe you can determine what the quality of the grown hen/rooster will be based on chick fluff.

high quality birds

There's no way to judge based solely on appearances at day of hatch the quality of a bird.
For show birds you won't know until they are fully feathered. The feathering pattern can also change after their first molt.
For production quality you won't know until they reach reproductive maturity.
All this will be directly affected by the conditions they are raised.
