I still haven't figured out my mystery chicks- but I'm leaning toward silver pencilled rock or golden cuckoo marans. Anyone have chick pics? Feathersite doesn't have the penciled rocks as chicks, and the marans pics aren't very good. I tried posting on the marans thread but got lost in the shuffle I guess.

Thanks!

I don't have SPRs anymore but I remember what they look like and if you can post some pics of yours, I may be able to tell you if they are SPRs.
 
Here's a Silver Penciled Rock:

Geez- it's like they are in-between those two! Here's the thread from earlier: https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=313205

The
one with the big white spot is definately a boy. They are really blue/gray underneath still- and all of them appear to have barred or penciled feathers coming in. I can post new pics tomorrow.

This is when they were itty bitty:

When I saw that last pic (the one in the back) I instantly thought blue laced red wyandotte. I don't know if it's right, but that's what it reminds me of.

All 3 have single combs though- and the wing feathers look dark blue or black with white-ish lacing/penciling.barring. I grew out some BLRW, but I don't recall them looking like this as chicks. Especially the spot on the head- you think they could be some kind of sex-link?
