I mean a blue feather laced with gold! I know- it's wild...I don't know if I could figure out how to do it on purpose, but if you look at CindyLouWho you'll see what I mean:

I got shots of some of the chicks, but my phone's USB port is on the fritz...I'll be wiggling it for a bit to upload.
What gorgeous coloring.

Wow, that is cool! If one of these guys ends up looking like that I'm going to have to keep it just on principle! What a pretty hen!
The chicks are doing great so far. The only issue I have had is that the brooder doesn't want to stay in the 90s. It keeps dropping to 85. Funny thing is that the chicks don't seem to mind at all. They are still moving about the bin just fine. They do do all their sleeping under the light but not huddled. When they are awake they are all over the place. They are making the happy noises too. I've never had chicks this age be OK with that temp. I do wish I could figure out why the brooder won't get to temp though, I've used this one a bunch of times and never had an issue.

Sometimes DARK green. DARK. Sometimes just a nice green w/out the dark hue. I've witnessed her laying each, and I'll get 2 or 3 of each every week. She has me confused regarding all that is said about egg color not changing, because this isn't like early in the cycle vs. late...it's like Tuesday vs. Friday!

How strange. The little BLR splash look-a-like is getting the same kind/color of wing feathering that the BLR splash Wyandotte chicks from the spring had too. So I'm thinking it is either BLR or like yours a gold laced blue. Either way it's going to be a pretty one! I hope it's a pullet, I'm very tempted to keep it!
Interesting enough, the three pure yellow chicks have yellow legs, not green or slate like most EEs.
I have one chick that is mostly yellow with a cape of pale grey, very pretty looking, maybe a blue splash? I've never had blues before so I don't know what they look like exactly. One of the chicks has got to be a blue though, he/she is mostly dark grey.
It's so cool the variety in these guys. One of the chipmunks is growing a lot faster than the others too. A cute little fatty

Those yellow legs will turn green. They turn a bit more willow green than the green that is like a slate or blue mixed with yellow- it's very pretty and the pads of the feet are almost chartreuse!
I'm wondering if the little fatty isn't going to be a roo?
