OMGosh, MissPrissy, they are absolutely gorgeous chickies. I am so chickie jealous of you right now. I love ORPS, love 'em, MUST GET MORE COLORS. I love my buff girls and guy, but I would love to have that array of colors. What do you think those lightest ones are? I love the buffXblue. So you ended up with every color? Oh, man, some people have all the luck.

Texaschickmama, these chicks are from blue and black orpingtons roos however in the same pen with blue/black hens are a buff orp hen and a lt brahma hen.

The silvery chicks are a variation of blue orpington. The two black are are well black. LOL

I suspect, and need TOH to verify, chicks 5 and 8 are most likely from the brahma. 3 is questionable. 9 is the buff/blu cross.

I love all the different shades of blue, silver, & black. I hope you will continue to post pics to document how they grow. Thanks for sharing! I also have spring baby chick fever.
