They are beautiful! Bluemottie has awesome birds!!! Congrats.
They are precious!!
Congrats on the hatch!
Looking at the pictures, I'm thinking you may have three or four blue mottleds. You have two that are the lighter, obvious blue mottleds, but there are some 'black' mottled chicks in there that look like they might be darker blue mottleds. You'll know for sure in about two weeks when their wing feathers come in-dark blues will have grey feathers coming in instead of black (though it may be a mix of very dark grey near black feathers and lighter blue feathers)
But again, awesome!!
The two fer-sure blues are in the second pic in the far left. The one inbetween the three chicks is hard to tell since it's facing away.
*In response to your PM- No, there's really no sure way to tell gender by their markings. But what I've noticed in my birds as a great indicator is that the cockerels will grow in their feathers much, much slower then the pullets in the first month or so.
Post some update pics in a few weeks and I'll help you out
