Are these Blue Orpingtons or Blue Andalusians?

It’s just so crazy. A week ago I was sure the third, forth, and the roo were all Orpingtons. Now I think they’re all Andalusians which make me question hens 1&2 because they were really looking like Andalusians to me before.

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

I don’t think Meyers has Sapphire Gems but they do have all sorts of mixed eggers so that’s definitely possible.

Two of the pullets have red earlobes, they are Orpingtons, or another brown egg laying breed. Meyers doesn't sell Sapphire gems.

What colors are you getting? Or no eggs yet?

No eggs yet. They just made 18 weeks. I’m guessing that will settle the question. This is my first time raising chickens and it’s just so surprising how hard it is to ID breeds. Not that it matters, they’re all great chickens but I’m just frustrated that I can’t figure it out.

Do Orpingtons have shimmery earlobes though? It looks as if, especially on hen 2 and the roo, that the red ear lobes are turning white.

While both have fairly dark shanks/legs, the bottom of their feet should be different colors. Orpington: Pale pink Andalusian: white......Also, agree with folks about earlobe color, Andalusians have white earlobes. Beautiful birds nonetheless !
