This from a light tan egg? Is it a mix if it's not a blue egg??

Just hatched my first chicks. Not sure of these two.

Cream Lagbars should have two copies of the gene for blue eggs so even a cross one generation out should lay a blue or green egg (depending on what it is crossed with). If it hatched out of a tan egg the closest pure Legbar ancestor would be a grandfather or grandmother.

Ik, I just called the guy I got the eggs from. He said if that came from a brown tan egg it's a Rhodebar?
I'm not familiar with all of these breeds yet. I'll have to do some reading.

Some of my cream legbar chicks
In with my silkie chicks

As you know the yellow chicks are cream legbar rooster
And the brown ones are hens and the black ones are silkies

I don't see a spot on these two. By looking at the wings yesterday I think I have two boys. From the orpington eggs. I thought those were my splash chicks.

I am aware of which thread I posted in. I wanted to make sure these were not male CL or some kind of mix.

My apologies!!

Oh sorry.
I did not mean to be rude if that's what you think.
Now back to chickens.
I don't think it's a cream legbar.
And you said it came out of a splash Orpington
I don't think that's what the chick is.
It's either a different colour Orpington
A cross breed or could it be a light Sussex?

I should have explained better. I bought 12 eggs most were Blue Orpington. But he didn't have 12. So I got some copper maran eggs and after calling him found out those chipmunk looking chicks are Rhodebar chicks. They look similar to the CL chicks. As he also had CL there I thought maybe I had one, but I was confused because it hatched from a brown egg... haha.
So I have two Rhodebar and three Orpingtons.
I don't knkw what the male Rhodebar chick should look like tho.
I think those light chicks are orpington.
Thanks for the help!
