Chunky, MS
I wasn’t 100% if this is the right subforum to post this thread, but I hope it is.
These chicks are the product of a Blue Orpington over 2 Splash & one Blue hen. I know the percentages of what each chick has the potential of being color-wise, but what I’m not completely sure of is what’s what at this young age. If this picture isn’t good enough, I can get more. The second is me circling what I *think* I have. Do you agree? If not, tell me what to look for. Black circle =black chick, blue=blue, white=splash

Variation with Blue is pretty normal, however I see way more than Blue, Black, and Splash there. I see birds that are probably going to feather in Mottled and a few others. Do you have pictures of the parents, or any recent photos of the chicks?
