Wow they are gorgeous!!!Wanted to jump on this thread since I'm going to be working more with Orpingtons now and into the Spring. I finally got a new roo this summer and am excited to be able to hatch some pure bred orpingtons. these are mine... My Lavender Hen, Stella and my Splash Roo I also have a BR in with them and a Buff Orp x BSL mix, but she looks more like a buff orp than anything else. I managed to hatch one orpington chick that is mixed with Barred Rock and this is what I got, looks more like a blue orp than anything else...
