What do you think I have here? I received them in a brown egg layer assortment from my pet chicken. They are the biggest of all the chicks and seem to be more on the dominant side. I thought buff orpington, then delaware, now thinking some sort of red breed...Thanks!  idunnocaf

hmmmmmm I'm back to thinking I have buff orpingtons! Thanks for responding everyone. I will post another picture soon. Do you think My Pet Chicken knows its much more fun to try and guess the breed than just telling you what they send? wink
