Really!?!

Because i just got the lavender hen like 4 days ago

Then she’s obviously not the mother. However, your lavender orp/buff orp hen in the beginning of this thread has blue/green legs- any reason why she couldn’t be the mother?

The egg that the chick hatched out of was brown, she lays white

Are you sure she lays white? Even if she only had one Orpington parent, her eggs would at least be tinted. No other hens that have blue or green legs?

No, its so confusing

That is not true

It is, it's an incompletely dominant gene that a purebred polish chicken should have 2 of. Any cross of a purebred polish, unless it's very poorly bred, would have at least one copy of the gene and would have a crest.

Ok.... But my neigbor hatched some chicks i gave her and 1 hatched from a buff egg and had blue feet BUT the roosters i have are Lemon Cuckoo Orp (White Legs), OE (White Feet), and a Silver Laced Polish it has no poof at all

@H-B-O any updates on this chick?

I’m wondering if it had a small crest, which wouldn’t show up as a chick.

I’m confused, that’s a picture off the internet? I’m talking about the chick your neighbor hatched which is supposedly a buff Orpington x polish.
