I am struggling with so many colors of orpingtons! I hatched several (dozen) this year. I am able to identify the lavenders (I've been breeding them for a while.) But I wanted some diversity in my flock. Many of the sellers give a variety of colors that could be present. However, I'm not able to find pictures of many of them. Help would be greatly appreciated! TIA

Beautiful flock! I have all Orpingtons and am going to start trying to breed for certain colors. @ColtHandorf will be able to help more than I as he specializes in breeding Orpingtons. I think the first 2 pictures are a Lavender Cuckoo cross. I'm not sure after that, though. It looks like you have quite a few crosses!

Where did you obtain the chicks or eggs? That will help narrow down potential varieties.
