I bought some BLRW eggs (to hatch strictly for egg laying pets, not show). So far I have 4 chicks out and dry and 3 more partially out of the shell.
And each one is colored differently. I am not familiar with this breed but do know that they can be a few different colors (blue vs splash) so I'm hoping that's why they aren't all the same color. But if anyone can confirm (or attempt to!) that these are BLRW then I would feel a whole lot better :)

Not the best pictures, but its hard to get their exact colors with the light I have in my incubator room.
There is a group pic and then individual pics of each of the 4 chicks.

Thanks!







 
Looks like it to me! You should notice quite a difference in the next week or so, they'll lighten up and start to get more of a blueish tint

Here's a thread where you can see pics of other people's chicks and maybe compare yours to theirs since you know what they look like in normal lighting! https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/633062/hatchery-blue-laced-red-wyandotte-post-pics-please/10
 
Ok here are some updated pics of the ones in question. I have 6 total and 4 of them show blue (light in color so I'm thinking splash) but these two don't. I know you can get dark blue as well as black with the blue breedings. Is that what these might be or do are these not BLRW?




 
They look like my BLRW when they were chicks. They don't start out with those pretty laced feathers, but they'll come in soon enough (when they go thru their next juvenile moult).
