Yes, but can Australorps have orange eyes? All of mine have had black/brown

Im not sure
My Australorp has black eyes.

They can have lighter eyes, it's not uncommon.
The standard requires them to have dark brown eyes, but pet quality/hatchery Australorp don't always have dark eyes.

I used to raise them.

Both Orpingtons

You don't think they are too big for Australorps?

Yes, sorry. I looked at the leg colour & eye colour and they don’t look like Australorps.

They look like my Orpingtons. I have a white Orpy rooster and a poulet that have just the odd feather that is black, just like that. Also, my all white Orpington hen has paler eyes and legs. Interesting!

The white one is an AustraWhite.

The black is an Australorp.

I looked up the Austrwhite and I don't think that is what she is. She is way too big for one, but the comb and wattles are wrong and the leg color and the wings and body type and carriage. I have some birds her that may indeed be Austrwhites but this one in particular I am not so sure about.

Easter Eggers dont always lay green or blue eggs you have a 50 percent chance of it laying blue or green.

Yours could have Maran in its lineage making the egg darker. But she is definitely a mix

So the confusion continues from when they were chicks. We thought we got 2 bantam EE, 3 OE, 1 Chocolate Orp, and 1 Black Australorp. We added a Golden Comet when we found out that the EEs were bantams.
We have been thinking that the CO was actually the BA because the supposed BA got feathered feet and is black and white!!
Regardless, they are all wonderful birds

Do you mind if I post all of the pics of them here, or should I start a new post in the breeds thread?

Maybe a new thread then tag me. This way others can chime in to
