Pros: friendly

Cons: taking time to adjust

I thought I was getting pure Lorps but have since realised they are crosses. Love them the same but they are after 3 weeks still flighty around the dog where as the old girls (4 NHamp Reds) were fine after a few days. I think my two girls maybe boy and girl.

Why do you think they are not purebreds? They look just like my pullets! :(

Well they are 6mths old and one has lacing on her breast feathers and they lay pure white eggs. I rang the breeder and she said yes the father was a Wynadotte cross Austrolorp. It wasn't untill they were 4 months did she show any colour variation.
