Thank you so much for all the photo comparisons. Looks like all the ones I tossed away last year for being ignorant of the breed. Looks like I do have a few blues in there as their fluff by butt and legs is the grayish color and I know their are some blacks and 3 splashes. I knew about the shiny black with green sheen as I did keep one black laced roo until I give it away to a guy that just wanted a roo for his ladies.here are some pictures of my chicks when they were 5 weeks old, best I could find for color comparisons:
Black male - Blue female
Black male - Blue female - Splash male - Blue male
Blue female - Black male - Splash female
sometimes the blue looks "really dark, almost black?" when you don't have a Black to compare against. the Black comes out very very dark, shiny, with tinges of green in it. can't mistake it.
My small flock is all Foley stock now. Delisha knows more about where 2 of my pullets and the roo as she hatched them I believe.
