These little ones were supposed to be Lavender Orpingtons. Not sure if they are maybe a Blue Orpington? One had lighter grey all over, and a few are darker on the top. Goes to light grey on their underbellies.
Thanks

They're too dark to be lavenders, imo, so I think you are right that they're blue. Whether they are Orpingtons is another matter.

The one in the background of the second picture has a touch of reddish color on his head, so that one is probably not an Orpington.
The others could be, or they could be blue Australorps or Sapphire Gems, or Rhode Island blues. Time will tell.
 
The ones in the background are Salmon Faverolles and Wyandottes. Yes, they are too dark to be Lavenders, unfortunately. I am hoping they are still Orpingtons at least. First time ordering chicks instead of buying from the store or local breeder.
