Hello! New chicken mama here and I have a mystery on my hands. I ordered all of my chicks from a local feed shop who orders from a hatchery. I got them as 1-2 day old chicks.
I have an 8wk old Lavender Orpington that I am beginning to wonder if she (or he) is mixed with something else. She got pretty big and quick compared to my buff. The waddles and comb started to pink and the tail grew a bit faster. But now I’m wondering if she’s a he or maybe not even a lavender Orpington at all. The comb is still a bit flat with ridges - possibly a pea or rose comb?
I’m hoping someone here may be able to help me identify her or him. Grateful for any feedback!!
