Blue Orps, roos?

[farmerChef]

I got some (olive) Blue Orp eggs from Lockedhearts. She has 2 hens that lay olive eggs, so she was collecting and shipping out to see if any of the chicks hatched out layed olive eggs. Well, only 2 hatched and I'm thinking both are roos.

They hatched 4/21, so they're 2 months old.
The dark blue one

The light blue one, it has a pea comb???? (because of olive "gene", or from previous unknown parentage?)

It appears both are roos. They both aren't pure orpington also. They're beautiful though, and I'm jealous!

I'd agree with roo x2.

I want the top one!!

If I remember correctly, the roo is a son of Suede, so the roo at least was pure and good quality, IDK about the hens. The roo is black and the 2 hens (mother/daughter) are splash.

Yes, the rooster is a pure Black Orp, son of my Suede and one of his girls, probably Smoky. The hen she has looks pure but lays olive colored eggs-don't remember where she got the hen. They look like boys, yes.

Both boys.

Any idea on why the lighter one has a pea comb?
