I think the dark ones could be a black mottled and blue mottled. Not sure on those light ones.

It is VERY interesting that you say that, because in the eBay ad, the seller mentioned that there was a possibility that mottled may be included.

I really wanted some mottled, so I asked her is she could make sure mottled was included, but she said that she couldn't promise anything. I just ASSUMED that my chicks were black because to me they
looked like blacks I had from an earlier hatch.

I hope you are right! Mottled and splash would be ideal.

Here is the mottled pic that the seller had. Isn't she gorgeous?

Here is a better pic of the two dark ones.

Looks like the two darker ones are blue, not black. One just looks a little darker than the other. Blue mottled, perhaps? They are just precious. And that Blue Frizzle-just gorgeous.

Weeeeeellllll then if mottled is a choice then those 2 are definitely mottled. They won't be solid black/blue. So yeah 2 blue mottled and 3 splash!

That mottled chicken is da bomb! And I mean da bomb!!!

Can't wait to see these little fellas all grown up!

Yes- they don't look black now. That mottled one is amazing! Could you use one like that for a mille fleur project? Sorry- didn't mean to throw that in...just have it on the brain lately.

i still think they should be sent to me for analyzing. just in case.

Lucky!!!... I just love bantam cochins. I have every color but mille fleur and blue mottled. Does that make me a cochin hoarder?

Your chicks are way too cute!!!

I was thinking they looked like they might be mottles, but ignored that instinct since you said blue/black/splash.
