Photos with not quite so much light should make that a little easier to positively ID. Going off of these, I'd say you have two splash. The first is so bright, it almost looks Lavender, but I don't think it really is.

This may seem like a silly question, but do I have two splashes here? One hatched out golden, and the other hatched silver/gray. I thought I had a splash and a blue, but now…View attachment 2544266View attachment 2544267

I agree that both look very light due to the sunshine.
1st - Overall color looks pale grey like a lavender but has darker head and slight lacing around feather edges - like a blue. Lavenders are solid shade throughout. He could be a mix of those colors or just a lighter blue.
2nd - looks like a splash to me.

Here is an “inside the garage” picture. (Ignore the silkie…) Thoughts?

That's Blue. A light Blue, but still Blue. Not Splash.

Thanks! Now, if I could just figure out boy or girl.

That one looks like a cockerel.

That one looks like a cockerel.

That’s what I’ve been told. I’m hoping the other one I have is a female.

I'm sorry, but that looks like a boy too.

 

[ColtHandorf]

Agree. I’d think both cockerels.

Pardon me for changing the subject a little, but can
some one tell me how to pronounce Crele? Is the E
long like CREEL or short like CRELL, or a combination
of the two like CREELEY or CRELLY?
