If the parents are all mottled, so are all the chicks.

For whether they are black or blue or splash:
I would guess #1 and #2 are splash, otherwise they would be very light blues. I'm pretty sure #3 is blue. I would guess #4 is black, or else it's a dark blue.

So that would be 2 splash mottled, 1 blue mottled, 1 black mottled, if my guesses are correct. Or else more blue mottled and less splash mottled or black mottled.

Thanks so much.
