Blue Rooster? One of Miss Prissy's hatchlings.

I am just wondering if this is a cockerel. He/she is thirteen weeks now. I have two that look like this. Looks like they are changing their colors, with the blue being different shades now? They were lighter and are getting darker now.

And oh yea, they are blue orpingtons.

I am fairly certain that you have a cockerel there. Very pretty birds!!

looks like a cockerel! Some blue chickens are very dark.

Cockerel, you can see the saddle feathers coming in along the back.

Hey, Randy, that blue orp chick you got from me..was it a cockerel?

 

[Tuffoldhen]

Cockeral. When dealing with BBS Orp Blues they do change their shade of coloring til they are almost mature. As they grow out their lacing will be become more pronounced.

So pretty! I love Orpington eyes.

Cockeral. You will see lots of changing in their coloring too. If this little roo came out of a #3 egg he will have lots of silver shine in his feathers. If it was a #1 not so much.

His eyes are so big! What a cutie

Hey Cynthia,

No she is definitely a pullet, looks light blue or perhaps splash, not sure, and she is HUMONGOUS! LOL I can't wait to link her up with this guy.

I will get a picture.
