Yes. The picture you posted earlier is a black australorp x buff Orpington. She doesn’t have slate legs, her legs are just darkened by the black from the australorp. I was wondering if the chick has the same leg color as the picture from the internet.

Ok, here’s my guess. Would you say the chick has legs like a black australorp?

So that rules out the lavender/buff orp. The pure buff Orpington is the only one you have that lays brown, right?

And you’re sure the chick hatched from a brown egg and not a cream one?

With the buff color? Silver polish rooster crossed with buff Orpington hen would not be able to produce a buff chick. The silver (white) of the polish would go to all his offspring. So it’s genetically impossible for that chick (if it’s really buff) to come from the polish. Why do you think the...

I’m confused, that’s a picture off the internet? I’m talking about the chick your neighbor hatched which is supposedly a buff Orpington x polish.

I’m wondering if it had a small crest, which wouldn’t show up as a chick.

@H-B-O any updates on this chick?

Are you sure she lays white? Even if she only had one Orpington parent, her eggs would at least be tinted. No other hens that have blue or green legs?

Then she’s obviously not the mother. However, your lavender orp/buff orp hen in the beginning of this thread has blue/green legs- any reason why she couldn’t be the mother?

Why don’t you think the chick came from her? Lavender orp x lemon cuckoo orp or OE can both produce chicks with blue legs.

You have lavender Orpington hens?

I just realized I wrote this incorrectly- blue can result from white x green. Also, if you have any hens with blue legs, the chick could’ve come from her.

Blue feet don’t have to come from blue footed parents. Blue is sort of like a covering over white feet. That’s why blue footed chickens have white foot bottoms. Blue can result from yellow x blue and green x blue. I’m guessing you have at least one hen with yellow or green feet.

Yes, it is. Unless the polish was very badly bred and had a very small crest (like legbar size).

I forgot to answer this part. To recreate her, I would breeder her back to a lavender Orpington, a buff Orpington, and/or blue Orpington, since her breed appears to be (blue) lavender orp x buff orp.

Not always. If the lavender orp has silver (all chickens have gold and/or silver even if they don’t outwardly show it) the silver would overtake the buff/gold. Her coloring appears to be blue with silver leakage. I’m guessing your lavender orp is a blue lavender rather than a “regular” black...

I believe she’s the result of a buff Orpington hen x lavender Orpington rooster. Her pattern is very similar to other buff x lavender/black crosses I’ve seen.
