Anyone help me ID what these are?


This one came out of a BLRW egg, but I have like 5 other BLRW hatched and all are darker, chipmunk back.

This one came from a batch of cochin and brahma eggs. It was unmarked as to which one, I am guessing a blue cochin? single comb, feather legged, gray/blue fur.


This one looks almost identical to the one above, same batch.


This next two photos are of the same chick. Came out of a BLRW or Light brahma or Buff laced brahma batch. I am not sure which one it came out of. Its grayish/yellowish color, clean legged



 
Your Wyandotte looks Blue Laced Red. The darker ones are probably either Black laced Reds, or just darker colored Blue Laced Reds.
Chick #2 and #3 both look like Blue Cochin to me, there's a lot of variation of chick down in those.
Chick #4 Might be a Splash Laced Red Wyandotte.

Blue Laced Reds throw Black Laced Red, Blue Laced Red and Splash laced Red when bred together. So if by BLR you mean Blue laced Red and not Black laced Red, then those three different colors are not surprising to find.

Those BLRW eggs were shipped to me incorrectly, and was labeled BLRW, not sure if the original meant black or blue, i just assume blue. It is a happy surprise for me.
