Dad says Orpington, but I say New Hampshire Red.

Hey, there! We keep some sort of yellowish chicken with black spots around its neck with our Marans. My dad says it's an Orpington, but I'm pretty sure it's a New Hampshire Red. Could you take a gander?







If you need any more photos, just let me know!

orp has white legs new hamps have yellow so she looks like a hatchery orp

I'd say you're right. Looks like a hen, too.

I am awful at breed, but i am 99% sure that is a hen!

Man that's a hard one I'm going to say Orpington. Maybe more pics could help.

Oh, yes! That's true!

I would think Orpington if it wasn't for the fact that the body shape is totally different from the pictures of orps I have seen online. She is not near as bulky as the traditional Orpington.
Also, she has black feathers in her tail.
But yeah, the legs are not yellow.

I don't see orpington at all. Wrong color, body type, etc. I'd say hatchery new hamp.

Her legs look yellowish to me. My yellow-legged hens 'wash out' much of the yellow in their legs when they are laying, so that could explain the pale legs.

I've never seen pictures of a buff Orpington, hatchery quality or not, with black in its feathers. I'm gonna say hatchery quality New Hampshire.
