    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.

    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.

    Is she a blue orpington??

    Do you know happen to know what the average age is when their ear lobes turn white? I’m pretty sure the ones I have are Andalusian but their lobes started out red. They’re about 20 weeks old now and I only just noticed the lobes turning white. I thought they were blue Orpingtons before. I’m...

    Is she a blue orpington??

    Of course, I’m currently trying to figure out which of my pullets are blue Andalusians and which are blue Orpingtons so I’m not the best person to ask. I read that the white earlobes are an Andalusian trait.

    Is she a blue orpington??

    She looks like a blue Andalusian to me.

    What sex is my 7 week old Ameraucana?

    About 9 weeks and I think it’s a blue Orpington. I got a rare breed pullet mix from Meyers so I’m not 100%. I’m pretty sure it’s a roo but my neighbor is adamant that it might turn out to be a pullet.

    What sex is my 7 week old Ameraucana?

    That’s good to know! I have a neighbor who keeps saying the same thing. She still thinks this one might be a pullet. I’m thinking it’s a roo but yours gives me hope!
