I wish I could zoom in.. bottom right definitely looks good - bottom center I'd need to see nodules, top left I'm guessing is normal but without nodule picks and/or feathers it's hard to say from this photo.

I was thinking the bottom right was a blue too. Congrats on your new chickypoos.
Your blue boy is most handsome

How do you know when they are going to be blue? Baised on the nodules? You both know something I don't/ Thanks for your guesses.

I hope to get another blue from this pair. My first pair was a surprise as it is...

White center nodules plus really pink skin usually tells you that young babies are blues

He turned out to be gorgeous! I love seeing your pictures because of all that natural sunshine on them!!!! I miss Florida where I had mine outside in the sun all summer
I see a blue in your new clutch and the others skin looks a lot like the one that is blue but without seeing those nodules it is hard to say for sure.
Congrats
