Marans chicks blues or birchen??

[Chicklady92]

I recently bought six Marans chicks and was told they are Blue Marans with a possible splash. My questions for you is, are they blue birchen Marans or is there just a regular blue Marans? They do have featherd feet and are roughly 2.5 weeks old. I am new to the Marans breed but not sure of you can tell which type of Marans I have by the picture and the age of the chicks. They are also mixed in with Cream Legbars.

Can you separate and take a better pic of the marans in natural light when they feather in? Look blue to me but hard to tell in that pic. And they are young. Few weeks more.

To early to say. You can tell if they are going to be Birchen until the feather out.
