Silver Blue OEGB?

[Crazy for Chickens!]

I'm back again with my messed up order of OEGBs. I already found out that i did not get Blue Mille Fleurs, as i had ordered, but everyone on here assumed that the chick was a Lemon Blue, just like the other two, that were supposed to be Lemon Blues. Well, It is growing silver neck feathers......As i understand, Lemon Blues are supposed to have gold hackles and saddles. Perhaps I am wrong. It does appear to be blue in color, so that's why I don't say Birchen. Any help is appreciated.

Yes, it is silver blue. Silver blue and blue birchen are the same thing.

Man, that place didn't give you what you paid for Hatcheries are supposed to be keeping their hatching chicks separated by variety.

Anything is possible with hatcheries.

It is frustrating. I've ordered from Ideal twice before, and the only problem I've had was a sexing fluke once, which could happen anytime. I've never had them mix them up like that. But, I suppose a lot of those OEGB colors look the same when they are young, so maybe if they had an inexperienced person picking out chicks, or the box got mislabeled.....who knows. I don't know if i should call and try to get a refund, or just let it go... I don't really mind a Blue Birchen.
