Do you have a color chart so you can tell us the exact shade?

I do have the color chart, I will use it today.

Newly hatched Araucana chicks and one angry broody hen. I don't know what color the rusty chicks will be. But all my hens are blue/black/splash so something odd is in my flock underneath the visible feather color.

What color is your rooster?

He is splash. All my girls are either blue, black, or splash.

Yep, you have a hidden gene in there somewhere. But, that hidden gene sure did make cute little chickies!

The rusty chicks look like wheaten/wild type but lighter in color, does the rooster have any red leakage? Black hens are good at being covered with black and showing no leakage but then they throw whatever color it is under that black sometimes. Wheaten leaks through black a lot more than wild type from my experience if all those are her chicks, it's likely there will be some red leakage on the blues and black cockerels but not the pullets.
Gorgeous chicks
