Cute chicks. The bbs orp could be black but don;t give up hope. Once it feathers in take it outside in the sun. Dull black means dark blue. There is nothing prettier than a orpington chick.
This is why the BBS orps are so frustrating to establish your own flock. So many eggs and so few chicks. It is the risk I took to get my flock numbers up.
That chick looks very dark blue to me. You really won't be able to tell for sure until it starts feathering out and you get it outside in...
How did I miss this thread?????
Fingers crossed! Hope they alla re growing well!
Good hatching vibes your way!
The writing on the eggs depends on who collected eggs.
B = blue orp pens
3 or 1 = blue orp pens
I have other pens with a mixed flock of layers, my red orp project, etc so every egg...
