    Are these Blue Orpingtons or Blue Andalusians?

    You’re right. Your Orpingtons are so plump and gorgeous! I was just in such a state of denial while they were still growing. I figured they couldn’t all be the same breed in a variety batch. I had too much faith in the hatchery. I’ll be getting any other chickens from a more reliable source in...

    Are these Blue Orpingtons or Blue Andalusians?

    In case anyone is interested all four turned out to be Andalusians! So much for the hatchery rare variety pack of chicks... 5/6 were Andalusians.

    Are these Blue Orpingtons or Blue Andalusians?

    Thanks! I guess I’m going to have to try and catch them tomorrow to look at feet. I’m also amazed at how quick they are!

    Are these Blue Orpingtons or Blue Andalusians?

    I definitely think hens 1&2 are the same breed and that hens 3&4 are also the same breed. They look similar to each other in body types and temperaments. So if you think 2 is an Orpington then 1 probably is as well.

    Are these Blue Orpingtons or Blue Andalusians?

    Do Orpingtons have shimmery earlobes though? It looks as if, especially on hen 2 and the roo, that the red ear lobes are turning white.

    Are these Blue Orpingtons or Blue Andalusians?

    No eggs yet. They just made 18 weeks. I’m guessing that will settle the question. This is my first time raising chickens and it’s just so surprising how hard it is to ID breeds. Not that it matters, they’re all great chickens but I’m just frustrated that I can’t figure it out.

    Are these Blue Orpingtons or Blue Andalusians?

    I don’t think Meyers has Sapphire Gems but they do have all sorts of mixed eggers so that’s definitely possible.

    Are these Blue Orpingtons or Blue Andalusians?

    It’s just so crazy. A week ago I was sure the third, forth, and the roo were all Orpingtons. Now I think they’re all Andalusians which make me question hens 1&2 because they were really looking like Andalusians to me before.

    Second hen. It was hard to get a good pic of her.

    Are these Blue Orpingtons or Blue Andalusians?

    The first is this rooster. His earlobes started turning a shimmery white color.

    Are these Blue Orpingtons or Blue Andalusians?

    Hey y’all! I’ve got four chickens and one rooster that I’m trying to ID the breeds of. I think they’re all either Orpingtons or Andalusians but it’s possible they could be other breeds. I got them from Meyer’s Hatchery back in May.
