I turned some of the chicks out into the flight pen.

@KsKingBee Kathy said you might be able to help me tell what colors I have! Or anyone else if they know Thanks in advance!

Gray band:

Blue band:

Those two are from a dark pied blue split to cameo boy over 2 blue pied, 1 purple, and 1 purple pied hens.

Orange band:

Green band:

These two are from a split BS pied purple boy over BS purple and BS pied purple hens. I also hatched a white chick from these eggs.

Great hatch!
My guess is IB pied on the grey & blue bands, purple on the green & orange banded chicks, possibly split BS on the lighter purple chick (green).

I don't see a Black Shoulder chick.

That is Opal! What did it come out of? A split obviously since you don't have Opals.

The white chick now has tan wings.
Most of my peas are in one pen. I don't have enough pens to separate colors, so I don't know which two created that opal. I was going to sell a couple males but now I don't want to. I think I'll keep the flock as is. Somebody gave me a few chicks to add to my collection several years ago and I know there was a variety of color splits going on in them.

I'll second that!

Thank you both! I have one more chick that looks like grey and blue bands, so I'm thinking it's IB pied too. And of course the one white chick, but that one's not hard to ID the color on

Unfortunately I don't have any, but I have a virtual one!

Name: Oliver
Gender: boy

Well, I take back what I said about the white chick's color being easy to identify. I was holding him today (definite him, DNA results came back today) and noticed his wings are not actually all white:

What do you all think? Is this normal for a white peachick? Here's a shot of him when he was a day old:

@Kedreeva this little one is out of your eggs

The best way to see a BS chick at a couple of days is looking under the wing. It will show color at the base of the flights. You may have a BS, a new pic of its back would help.
