What color are my polish and Japanese bantam chicks?

[alyssars1]

I can tell the the Polish is a blue, but I can't tell if it's a solid blue, blue with white top or maybe a splash or something??

I'd say solid blue Polish and black-tailed white Japanese. That Japanese chick doesn't look quite healthy.

Aww really? Why do you think?

Hunched posture and large head/beak relative to size. It's more a gut feeling than anything, since it's from one picture, but if he's acting lethargic or that's his normal posture, I'd see if I could locate some poultry vitamins to hopefully perk him up.

Ok I'll look for some vitamins! He/she is calmer than the rest, but I didn't really think it was lethargic, tho now I'm worried! What do I do if it's sick?

Make sure he's warm and provide vitamins, since a chick's inability to absorb/produce them is usually the problem. Not much else you can (or should) do, unless you see signs of coccidiosis, and since none of your other chicks are exhibiting symptoms, that seems unlikely.

Good luck, and I hope he is just calmer than the others are.
