I have my little mess of bantam Cochins, hatched from blue Cochin eggs. Sadly, I have no splashes...BUT, there appears to be a frizzle in the group and this little oddball as well. It's hard to see in the pictures, but she almost has a purple cast compared to the others. There is one more that has that cast but looks more chocolatey. So, do you think she's just a different shade or is she really a different color?
This is her next to what I assume is a blue.

The others are blue or black looking.

First one does look blue. As for the possible chocolate one, its really hard to tell, you should be able to tell when s/he grows in some feathers!
