They seem to be pretty straight now, but I will deffiently keep an eye on them. Do you think he is a blue or black orp?

He looks blue to me. Look at my photo of Curly. He has black beak and feet. Even with the little white patch it is clear he was going to be black.

So it looks like I have 2 blue and a splash, that's a perfect hatch

Correct me if I am wrong, but the curled toes could be from to highof incubation temperatures, and since you said they hatched 3 days early that is likely the problem.

The splash is adorable.

It can also be because these orps have huge feet. Talk about big chicken feet!

I have a "Suedett" I got from PC, and he's only 6 months old and already weighs about 12 pounds and his feet are HUGE!
