If you ordered blue and buff eggs, you don't have to worry about getting any of the other colors you mentioned. Blue hatches as a dark color, looks almost black. Buff hatches as a darker brown color. You could also get splash chicks out of your blue eggs depending on what was mated to produce the eggs. Splash chicks hatch as a yellow-ish with a gray tinge.


Lavender and porcelain are very rare colors and eggs for them go for a pretty penny.

I have chicks due to hatch and I have a few Lavs in there.

I will post photos of them for color reference. My lavs were purchased at a month old, so I'm not even sure what color they will be when they hatch! I did hatch a porcelain, and she did actually look porc after a few days as I recall. If anyone has photos of day old lavs I would love to see them!

Looks more like a black, but also really has a brown look to it. Getting accurate colours to show on a computer can be difficult.

Thanks for the compliment!

That photo looks a little black to me too. I didn't realize that the splash had a brownish tinge, very interesting.

Thats a cute photo of the buff! The photo below is the result of a lav roo and I believe a black, not sure. Is this gray?
It has a true lavender undertone so I'm not sure.
