It'll be easier to say for sure when they're a bit older with some feathers. From what I remember, buff genes can hide some other stuff under there
 
This would be all possible combinations with a splash father
Black-all blue
Splash-all splash
Chocolate-all blue in appearance
Blue-splash or blue
Buff-blue with leakage

Given these possibilities, a buff was the mother

I have one hen that is a cross between Lavender hen and a Splash roo. She is blue with a black head.
