Hi! We just got our chicks from Mypetchicken.com and I have figured out who is the australorp, the buff orp, and the barred rock, but I have two blue/black/splash orp chicks that I don't know what they will turn out to be. One is slightly lighter in color than the australorp but still a dark chick with yellow underside, and one is a uniform pale almost greenish gray. Can anyone tell me what colors these two will turn out to be?

Thanks!

The first one you described seems to be blue and the second splash, could you post some pics?
 
Okay just got photos :)

First one in question is the one in the middle: I think the barred rock head is in front, and the australorp is in back (distinctive facial markings, deep black, just a bit smaller than the orps)




This one off by herself is the other one in question. I think it's an australorp looking at her, and the barred rock is laying down.

Any idea what they will be? Should I post this in a different part of the forum, or is this the right place? Thanks so much if you can help us figure this out!
