The feathers look blue to me, they can appear striped as they grow in, I’ll try to find a picture of a blue Brahma if mine for reference. It’s strange that they look so pale though. Lavender might also be an option, but it will be a waiting game. If it’s not too much bother, would you be able at some point to write down every individual chicks colour you can, from yours and the others hatched, so I can see the percentages better?@pipdzipdnreadytogo @BlueTheBrahma
Guys...
What is happening..?
It's getting wild over here.
So, that "splash" chick from before is feathering really dark and it may very well just be shades of blue resembling it but-
Is this barred or cuckoo that I'm seeing now? I don't know how that'd be, there's no dot on the head or what now, and the chicks down is way too light for that from my understanding- But it seriously looks that way to me.
Here they are:

Tell me y'all see what I see-

Another thing related to this, a friend hatched a dozen eggs from my white cochins, all hatched-
9 were the color of the chick I'm questioning (which we thought was splash, and maybe it still is, but I'm unsure at this point. ) and the other 3 were white.
I'm curious why there hasn't been any more blue and I'm starting to wonder if maybe the frizzle hen I had was the only one hiding blue, maybe the others are only hiding splash. (Or more at this point.)
And you'd think majority would be white but that doesn't seem to be the case.
Here's a small portion of what she got- (Not including the red looking one )
