Now here's a question that I think may be solely moral based...Do we diversify her genes by breeding her out with Orps we KNOW are unrelated, or just stop it with her? Bought her as breeding stock, and boy am I glad I posted!

I really never noticed when it happened. She's young, probably 10 weeks. She was also a slower grower than some of our other Orps. I'm betting on the lack of diversity in her genes. She's not hatchery, but she was acquired from local breeding stock.

She's an English Orpington, and is in good health, but I do have to wonder about something being genetically amiss. Thanks for all the input fellow chicken folks!!!

Hey all, has anyone ever seen this eye coloration before?? Neat, but very odd. Both of her eyes are identical. I wonder if it could be genetic, or just a fluke?
