    Can you believe they're a week old already? One black Orp, one blue Orp and the black Ameraucana baby who is crowing already. The blue is much lighter than any blues I've hatched so far; in fact, when it hatched, I thought it was a splash:

    I too love my Orpingtons! They are some of the sweetest and gentlest chickens I've ever owned.

    Cynthia, those are genuine cutie patooties!! Just little dolls!!

    Thanks, Robert. I love my Blue/Black/Splash Orps and I've gotten to love my Blue and Black Ameraucanas more than I originally thought I would. Such even-tempered sweet birds, all of them.

    I am hping its a girl!

    My blue orp chicks are dangerous! At the sight of me, all 14 of them like to "bulldoze" me down for those treats and they dont thank me for it by grabbing pieces of bread LOL. I can not imagine them being so friendly and \\ real piglets they are and I probably get knocked over by them when they get a little heavier!

    Sounds like your little blue girl chick would be light blue, not as blue as your girls are but neverthanless, it would be beautiful!
