I have one of each and not sure which is which. Ideas? Can you tell as chicks? I am suspecting the fluffy darker one is the Orpington and the lighter one is the australorp but I would think lavender would be lighter than blue. Thoughts?
Thanks!

Ignore the one in the middle. It might be one of the salmon faverolles but I can't tell with the red lamp. But they looked like the one on the left, not the one on the right.
 
As an update- turns out the first pic is the blue australorp and the second is the lavender Orpington. The australorp is sweet, my my lav Orpington is really quite mean. She actually bites when you try to handle her despite my best efforts to handle her lots. Guess I got the exception to rule that lav orps are sweet and gentle. 😂
