There are three blues in the bottom pic. So did you get to like them so much you went and bought another?

10 chicks with 3 of them blue. Well they met percentage expectations then. The other 7 will be frustrating not being able to tell which are normal and which split, but that's the luck of the game. Still all nice looking birds. And I am sharing your problem of not knowing which if any chicks have the elusive blue gene.
