Odd colored chicks

[DylanP]

Hi everyone , im sorry for asking so many questions but this place is by far my favourite/ best place to find out information. I put some blue wheatan, silver amerucana in for myself and a few spitzhauben and buff orps for friends. Yesterday evening 3 of the buff orps hatched but they are black , does anyone know if heritage buffs can throw that color or is it a mix breed ? Also does anyone know how to tell the difference between silvers and blue wheatan chicks ?

Buffs can not throw blacks. Something else is in the mix.

I forgot to say they were eggs collected from birds i bought once they arrived , the rooster is over 2 feet and decently orange, 2 is buff but one has a few black tips on her tail but still buff colored , heres a picture of the chicks here , sorry if it's not the best , im also sorry for not taking the egg shells out first
