What color are these BBS Ameraucana chicks?

[WillowMoonWyandottes]

I have some BBS Ameraucana chicks here and I’m having a hard time telling how many Black, blue and splash I have, can someone tell me what they think? I know for sure the 2 white/yellow chicks are splash but not sure if the light grey chicks are blue or splash and if the dark chicks are black or dark blue. I’m probably thinking to much into it lol

White ones are splash, dark are black, the grey are blue.

Cute babies!

You're in good company!

Many of us on here are serious over thinkers.

At least it's something fun to think on!

The black and blue have become very muddled in some Silkies, making the blue very dark and hard to tell at hatch sometimes. Most other breeds are as straight forward as it seems.

There are sometimes some very dark blue almost black. I had one. Once you compare a dark blue to a black you will definitely see the difference though.
