Pics of newly hatched lavender orpington chicks?

[cmobley]

I ordered eggs from meyer supposed to be lavender orpington eggs. All the chick pics I've seen of lavender orps they're grey and kinda white. I've only had one hatch out so far and the down color is black with yellow wing tips and yellow under throat. Is that the usual color of these newly hatched?

Hmm maybe they'll change some after drying.

Lavender Cochin but I can't imagine they're too different

Sounds like you might have been sent a Black Australorp egg. Is the breed code on the egg still readable?

Where is the photo where you saw that it looks like a austrolorp?

There is a little more yellow down showing under a light. When that little thing popped out it was solid black with a yellow spot under the neck and each wing tip was yellow. Looked like a giant bumble bee. But also looked like my mutt eggs I have in there with him. I took all the mutts out just now they've been reeking havoc in there. I left this one because I know it came from one of the labeled eggs. You can see the code on the egg in front of it.

The description they provided doesn't sound like an Lavender Orpington, but some black breed. Meyer sells Australorp hatching eggs, so I wonder if they sent one of those instead.
