ameraucana? Lavender Orpington? .. an alien 🤷🏼‍♀️👽 what am I!?

If you look closely at the leg of the chick closest you will notice light leg feathering.

Oh yea I think I see it. Maybe maran mix since they are so lightly feathered....

Not ameraucana mix because they would have beard and muffs.

Their coloring is not lavender, they are blue. They are not Ameraucanas either, missing beards and look to have single combs

Wait until they get all their feathers in, it will be easier to guess.

Lavender orpington mixes. The reason I say mixes is because they have feathered feet when lavender orpingtons don't

The lighter coloured one Does, the dark does not! And just barely I hadn’t really noticed till now, good catch!

 

[Jack1313]

They don't have cheek tufts or beards, so I'm going with Lavender Orpington. Chickens age at different rates, you know.

They don’t look much like my orpingtons!

 

[Jack1313]

Those two up there don't have feathered feet, do they??

The dark one Does Not, but the lighter coloured one Does, just beginning to come in!

The one in the back with the upright tail may be a Brabanter mix as they have upright tails. Maybe half Ameraucana half Brabanter??

Interesting !! Thanks

Do they have Marans by any chance?

 

[Jack1313]

the one with a shorter tail looks like a lavender orpington, the other one is a bit to dark to be a lavender orp and it has a much longer upright tail so probably an ameracauna lavender orp cross. it is very likely they are both mixed though

Interesting for sure! Now I’m even more curious ! Their temperament is so different from my orpingtons too - these ones are cra cra and aren’t too keen on people! Haha thank you for your input!

They told me they only have Ameraucana, Lavendar Orpingtons and Brabanters, I have a few others from them and they are all looking like they should lol .. so who knows !
