6week old Blue/Splash Orpington

[tjessen]

These are pictures of blue orpington chicks I got from TSC. The first I think is a splash and was about a week older than the second which is a blue roo. The blue roo has red waddles and developed a comb but the comb is not as big as the Splash's. Can anyone tell whether the splash is, roo or hen. It really has me puzzled. I don't see any waddles but it's comb is big. Also would you call it a splash or a blue?

They are gorgeous im jealous. The first one is a blue and the second one is a splash. I think both are boys but im not familiar with the breed and theyre very young to tell but thats a lot of comb development.

Thank you...that's my guess also. Yes, I am very excited I came across them. I have two blue hens out of the group and only want to keep one rooster so hoping the splash is a hen but thinking a roo also so will probably keep him and find a home for the blue roo. I appreciate the help.
