Yes. You're right. I was actually just reading the Jubilee Orpington thread and have read that more white trends to be the sex identifier for males. And after reading the thread I can now go back and identify which chicks they were.
Thanks everyone!
I have a couple of breeds I sell and my nitch is the back yard fun chicken flocks and some back yard breeder hobbyists.
I was thinking $4 an egg and $10 for chick. That's what I sell my Cream Legbars for.
We'll see. I actually sold these to my brother-in-law when they were...
Wenger they were chicks the Orpington was yellow. The other was yellow and brown but didn't look like the Speckled Sussex chicks in the catalog. I wonder if there breeder mixed the two to get more speckled into the Orpington.
Now that you say that, I agree too. I love the wording in the email. You have a Jubilee Orpington. Meaning, the one is definitely JO, but that other one... Not sure what happened there. LOL! Thanks for helping me out.
What do you think of this? I know my other roosters of different breeds from same order have large crests and waddles but I thought that maybe this one's was small because of slow growth.
These were mystery chicks from a Meyer Hatchery order. Would you say Speckled Sussex and/or Jubilee Orpington
They are 18 weeks old.
Is this one a rooster (first two pictures are same bird)?
Remember.... Hatchery stock.
