Hi, I traded out a OE cockerel today and got this chick. I was told it was a Blue Orpington. I have a Buff but never had a Blue. What are your opinions on this chick?? I'm not sure on the age but I'm guessing around 3 weeks old.

Judging from beak and leg shanks, It surely looks like one of three colors blues come in. Time will tell if its a roo or not. Loosing its baby fluff and starting to grow out feathers. I would guess closer to 4 weeks old or maybe even 5. My chicks are 2 weeks old and just starting to grow and shed fluff. You really should enjoy this bird but 1 is not enough!
