OK, so I thought I was getting 5 Orpingtons. What I think I got was 2 Orpingtons and 3 Amaracaunas (sp?). My daughter picked them up for me when I was at work from the local farm store. They were all from the same brooder labeled Orpingtons.

When I noticed the mutton chops I began to doubt they were Orpingtons. Then I looked more closely at their body structure and it's different too. Not nearly as fluffy, greenish legs, feathering color.

Below is Circe (bringer of chaos, 'cause she's a trouble maker). I couldn't get a good picture of the other two.

So, you think Ameraucanas? Or EE?

EE, not ameraucana

Yup. EE's.

Since you guys seem pretty good on the IDs, any idea on this one? Supposed to be a Polish. Dark grey with lighter grey areas on head and neck? I can't seem to find any picks of similar chicks that are Polish?

The chick above is definitely an EE pullet. I just discovered that our EE (that could be your pullet's twin) is a Roo. Trying to re-home him now since we cant have Roo's. Bummer because he is quite comical.

You're right - could be a twin of mine. How funny.

I was worried about that - sure hope not. How would I know for sure??

How old? Early reddening of combs is usually a sign of a cockerel. Pullets will get redder combs near POL.
