Which type of blrw do you think these are?

i purchased 3 BLRW chicks from a breeder. I thought I had gotten 1 splash and 2 blue. They are now 4 weeks old and I am not sure, the splash maybe is a blue and the 2 blues maybe black? Any experts out there want to weigh in?

Can you get pictures in better light? Second looks blue, last looks black laced.

I’ll try and get a better pic tomorrow or Saturday. On another note I just moved my 7 week old buff orpingtons and glw chicks out to my coop this past weekend. The girls have been doing fine however they have not gone up the ramp or used the perches we put in and have been sleeping in a heap on the floor in the back of the coop. Any suggestions on getting them to use the perches? Just need to give them time or is the ramp too steep maybe?

Unless they are familiar with roosting already, chicks naturally sleep in a huddle n the floor, try putting them on the roost each night and see if it works.

Ok, thank you. They look so comfy on snuggled together but I read to not let them sleep on the floor in the coop or it’ll become the norm

My little guys stayed on the floor of the coop till they fully feathered. Now they are up on top of the nesting box beside rest of the bigger hens on the roost.

Ok, I got to put the chicks out today so I got some better pictures. Ignore the glw in the pics. So what have I got with my blrw? Blue, splash or black?

You have some of each. I see BLue, Splash and Black. I think you can see it too.
