Hey y’all! I’ve got four chickens and one rooster that I’m trying to ID the breeds of. I think they’re all either Orpingtons or Andalusians but it’s possible they could be other breeds. I got them from Meyer’s Hatchery back in May.
 
The first is this rooster. His earlobes started turning a shimmery white color.

Second hen. It was hard to get a good pic of her.

They are neither. The hen is a Sapphire Gem, an egg laying hybrid.
The rooster is also some mix, or a different breed.
