Chicks from Tractor Supply

Supposed to all be blue andulsian pullets. But they all look so different. Any idea on breeds?

Welllll....

Every blue breed hatches out as blue, black, and splash....

So could be that you got what you think you did.

Blacks are black.... blues will look faded, charcoal to dark or medium gray... and splash can be a very soft dove gray but with darker spots.

I second the above post. It's highly likely you picked out a few Black Andalusians, and possibly a Splash, shown in next to the last photo.

How adorable. I dearly love my Andalusian.

Hmm. I'd be okay with that. But can leg color vary that much in the same breed as chicks?

At this age, yes, color can vary a little. It appears they all show the start of slate legs.

I did not get pics of them (of course) but the chicks that are mostly black have very different colored legs. I appreciate the responses. Thank you. Can't wait to watch them grow. Time will tell lol.
