Angie, that is an Orp baby. It's smaller than the black one and had a hard time hatching, but seems good now.

That would be little MISS T!

Thanks! I'm just glad to have another variation of the blue color. She is doing very well, eating and drinking and cuddling with the two larger ones, although, the Ameraucana and her are about the same size. The Black Orp baby is just a broad little tank, LOL.

Thank you! It's a bit smaller than the black one that hatched hours earlier, but gets around just fine. I love the difference between when you hatch your own or buy chicks that are shipped from a hatchery, Seems the ones you hatch are calmer and less afraid from the start.

Here are the two splash Orp cockerels I hatched in two other batches of chicks for comparison. (In the second pic, the splash Orp the largest, almost white chick.) The one I just hatched does seem more blue than splash, doesn't it?

Surprise! The first Orp chick is black and so is the Ameraucana. The other little one we thought wouldn't make it DID. And she's in the brooder. And someone tell me if this baby is very light blue or splash!Julie, help us out here. I hatched two splashes before but by the time they dried off...
