BBS orpington chicks

MY black orp chick .Now at about 6 weeks he has just a small spot on his chest. the rest is pure black

Thanks. The one I posted a pic of was the first to hatch and so much white made me wonder.

this is my 10 day old orpington. I thought she'd be larger by now. She's still way smaller than the wyandottes I have that are just a couple days older. Any opinions on her size and color? Thanks. (She's/he is my first orpington)

Splash is yellowish white. at least all mine are, light blue is silver, black is black, medium to dark blues will sometimes look black but when they first hatch and are wet, black will be just that, black. all of them can have light to yellow marking on their face and chest when hatched, it goes away, as do white in the wing feathers. there are two other ORP threads with tons and tons of pics.

Blue hatched out silver

Splash hatched out yellow/white

black hatched out black

also look at the color of the legs, thats another clue
