Hi I am new to having chickens.I only have 2 lol, a hen who is a black Australorp and a Rooster who is grey in color but I have no idea what kind of breed he is. My daughter brought them home from school when they were chicks. Now they are about 4 months old ( I think).
STELLACAT I looked up the blue orpington and the lighter grey ones do look like my rooster, but..... 2 other people told me on my other post that it could be a blue barred rock or a blue andalusian. So I looked them up too and the lighter ones look like my guy. So I am sooo confused lol. All I know is he is the most gentle and calm rooster I know. My australorp is also very calm and gentle. I love them both so much and I would love to get more chickens in the future. Right now I am new at this so I want to make sure I understand a little more about them befor I leap into getting more.
Thank you to everyone for your help!! Your all so very kind and I'm so glad to have found this website!!
It's ok to be confused, I am as well, there is a possibility he is a mix but whatever he is I am glad he is a gentle rooster, some are aggressive and don't make good pets.
