Nice! You got yourself there a blue.

Hard to tell gender right now, wait til they're 6 weeks then post pics. But the lighter older one shown is indeed the color you're looking for.

Awesome!... I'm worried that lighter one in the pic w/2 is a roo, it had thick legs. What do you think the color is going to be on chick # 3?
 
3 and 4 are too young to tell anything.

Forgot though, you're looking for a silver-blue, not a gold-blue. The chick I mentioned then won't look entirely like what you want, but she/he is indeed blue based.

The 3rd and 4th, only time will tell but one definitely does carry blue.

Hey Illia, I got a couple more chicks...these are supposed to be bantam EEs. Did I get closer to silver-blue w/these little guys?


 
how did your chicks turn out? I just hatched a bunch of OE and want to keep a few that might be blue before I give the rest away to 4H kiddos tomorrow morning.
 
I hatched 10 olive eggers and chose 3 to keep hoping for either Blue or Black&White. I didnt have any grey chicks but these guys do have grey at the base of the their chick down. Also I already have a Blue/Gold EE so I didnt keep any chicks that had a whole lot of brown or copper in their down. Im hoping one of these will be more of the silver/blue color. I will update in a few weeks!

(Chick 1-3 from left to right, order is the same in all photos)

How did I get WHITE chicks from a blue rooster and blue/black/splash/cuckoo hens? And what will happen if I breed the white back to the blue roo?
