My chicks came today! Among those were 2 Lemon Blue OEGB, and 2 Blue Mille Fleur OEGB. 1 of them died in shipment, and i don't know which one. I can attach more pics as needed, but this is what i have right now:
I was thinking a Blue Mille on this one

And Lemon blues on the other two?

If you need more pics, i will get some tonight. They don't really look very different in color.
Thanks!
 
Thanks so much! Just curious, how do you tell? Is it the spanglish look on the wing?
Well, I breed Mille Fleur D'Uccles so I'm very used to that pattern. The Blue MF if you notice has a dark head. The dark head is typical of Mille Fleurs and of course the blue is well, blue.
The Lemon Blues have a lighter body color and yellow tinge to the head :)

Okay. Thanks for pointing that out! :)
 
Would like to know what you ended up with also.
Unlike @Cyprus when I was raising MF and blue MF d'uccles mine had lighter heads then their bodies and the blues just had a blue hue instead of black.
They were hard to distinguish when only a few days old.
