Unexpected Blue chicks from a porcelain rooster

[janiedoe]

Rooster is a porcelain oegb
Mother is a black mottled cochin
Just back yard mixed chicks hatched because of a broody, but I had not expected to get blue chicks.
Is porcelain really just splash?
The two babies in front are the ones I'm referring to. They are blue (not brown)/ not the best lighting for the picture.

Can I see better pics of the chicks and a picture of the rooster?

Porcelain is not splash. Very different genes.

Here is the rooster
(Different rooster sired the chicks on the roost)
He is a hatchery rooster (Ideal poultry) & so are the hens

Porcelain should just be Mille Fleur with Lavender. No Blue. The hen to the left of the cock is a pretty thing.

Is the hen next to him a hatchery quality buff laced sebright or a gold neck oegb?

She is supposed to be a buff laced sebright, but she has a single comb.

Okay, that's what I was thinking. Single combs in rosecomb breeds aren't uncommon, especially with hatchery stock unfortunately
