I'm not sure if these following pics are right or not.
If they are not the right color just tell me and I'll delete it.View attachment 1919330

This one I legit have no idea on. It could be half a million things genetically

The one on the right in this pic.

The one on the left I think is more standard silver/blue based. My blues always have that sort of dark pigment around the legs, beaks, and eyes.

This one! Yes.

Ok so my lighter ones... I'll go back and delete that post above.

I'm going to figure this out today even if it kills me.

I actually still have no idea on that lacier-looking darker type. It's like a perfect hybrid of lavender, silver/blue, pharaoh/falb-fee (that red mantle!), golden, rosetta, and pansy Which of those it actually genetically carries is anyone's guess.

I guess it *could* be a female silver-type roux, counterpart to the male next to it, with some extra pattern. Real nutty one if so though. Good at mimicking literally everything else.

I have no idea on this one either. Could be a lav man, could be a (literal or metaphorical) dirty snowie, could be a silver-diluted golden type.

The exact shade changes more than you'd expect with the fancies between 3 wks and 6 wks so you can probably clear this up by then.

Grab-bags are amazing and infuriating for control freaks.

Now you now why all of my fancies have 3-gen pedigrees and half-completed color genomes and I track every hen's egg production individually.

I'm going nuts trying to learn what colors I have.
I'm almost ready to quit and start over with the learning of colors in two weeks when mine are bigger.

I'll take a new picture of my silver boy when I get home. He's grown one black spot on his back. It's really cute.
