Looking the chicks I was sold, some have the white skin, but most are yellow. Do you think they are Americana (the mixed breed kind, not the Ameraucana) chicks?
I'm in North Central Texas. I did some research and found that any partridge colorings in Orpingtons aren't recognized as breed standard. Which is what she is telling me they are. blue/gold partridge and red/gold partridge is what she's calling them. Of course, I've now read that they should...
I spoke with the lady I got the chicks from. These are the mamas. The front 2 are Orpingtons and and the back are Brahmas.
She says they are pure bred. What do y'all think? The parents are gorgeous.
I thought Orpington because the seller said she had some of those chicks as well. I'll be texting her this morning. All of her adult chickens were beautiful, so I honestly don't care what they are. But if she bamboozled me I'm gonna be p'd off. I paid way too much for mutts, you know?
I just got 11 chicks from a lady. I thought all were Brahmas. A few blue partridge and had no idea on the others color. Saw the parents (gorgeous) on site, but didn't get to look over the chicks that well. Only three have feathered feet. Sooooo I've got mutts, or perhaps some color of Orpington...
