Where did you get them?
I think I see a black (with black down and black feathers); a blue (dark down, feathers dark grayish), and a splash (light gray with some darker bits in the wings.)

I don't know about the one with tan down and black wing feathers. I don't think I've ever seen a chick that looked like that before--quite a striking contrast!

Egg well farm in SC! I love them but unfortunately I’m seeing aggressive behavior from the tan one with the splash. Worried that he’s showing signs of a roo the breeder said I could exchange him on Friday

I just looked at their website, and they have Orpingtons in Black, Blue, and Splash--so those are probably the colors you have!

Sounds like a good plan. I'm sure the breeder knows more about sexing these particular chicks than any of us seeing pictures over the internet

Always tough with these little babies! It’s sad but I can’t have a roo
