Gender of a bunch of 8 week olds??

Do you think the black ones could be black Orpingtons? The guy I got the eggs from sold me a dozen lavender orps. But I only have 5 (well apparently 4 and 1 blue.) I'm sure more than 5 of those eggs hatched.. And then I'm almost 100% sure I had more than 2 of my backyard mix dozen, NOT hatch. Which means some of my lavender eggs had to have had something else besides lavenders...I can't recall which chicks came from which eggs, but I know he was also selling black Orpington eggs and chicks. Maybe his black rooster got to his lavenders or he just gave me whatever eggs he had that day...

What color are the bottom of their feet? Purebred orpingtons should have white/pink foot pads.

Good question, I will check that a little later and let you know/post a pic if I can.

What color would you consider these feet? I think a couple look pinkish but probably not two of the black ones..

Looks like the second and third picture are pink/white and the other two are yellow. You could have a black Orpington and a blue Orpington.

If you’re still unsure (I’m a little unsure myself) you can compare them to your lavender orps’ foot pads, which you know will be pink/white, and the foot pads of one of your yellow-legged chicks.

Yeah I'm thinking the one who isn't black is a blue Orpington. I looked at pictures and he/she definitely looks like more of that coloration than a lavender. The black is possible orp too or some other black chicken from my backyard mix eggs. Not really important to know if it's a roo as I probably won't keep him anyway. Way too many boys on my hands it seems!
