Are my chicks lavender orpingtons?

Hi everyone,
I bought some lavender orpington hatching eggs and these are my gorgeous chicks....2 of them look brown with brown beak and legs...what do you think?

Those don't look lavender to me... Mine were MUCH lighter pastel fluff with dark beaks and legs. I'll try to find a picture...

One of my "boys" this past summer.

Wow, that's terrible luck! None look to be lavender orps at all :/

The top two could possibly be brown orps, but it's a little to early to tell. Not sure what the last one might be...

Sorry, mine are actually Lavender Ameraucana not Orps! Doesn't matter though.. Lav. Orps would still be the same color...lol.

They don't look Lavender to me, either.

They defiantly aren't lavender. Is is just me or does that last one look like an australorp?

Thanks so much for all you replies and input.....I contacted the person I bought the eggs from and she said "they are splash but I know I put some lavender eggs in there" I'm not sure if there is a brown orpington splash? Do any of you know?
Anyone buying hatching eggs online and/or through eBay should make sure they are buying from a reputable farm. There is no refunds. Now I am stuck with 3 very cute mutts

No. Splash chicks are also yellow. They can be hard to tell from Lavenders. These are blues, blacks, and splashes. If you paid with paypal, file a dispute!
