I picked up 2 blue colored chicks from the local feedstore today. I thought at first they were Brahmas, but they can't be since they have no feathers on their legs. They are from standard sized stock (not bantams). Could anyone tell me what breed(s) these 2 are? Thanks for any and all feedback.....

Almost look like Blue Orpington chicks. What selection did they have? Usually a feed store don't carry any blue's or splashes of any poultry unless specially ordered
 
The store had mostly Barred Rocks, RIR's, Easter Eggers, Leghorns, and a few others I couldn't quite figure out, but they only had 3 of these blue ones. It would be interesting if they were Orpingtons, since I thought they only came in the orange/gold coloring. Thanks for the insight.
 
EE's could be a big possibility , anymore you can just about get any solid color blue or splash.
