Buff Orp or EE?

[MommaK6]

This little lady was supposed to be a Buff Orpington.....but those cheeks just keep growing! She is 7 or 8 weeks old. Maybe 9 now...I've lost track!!

She's an EE, probably a Buff Orp EE cross. She is very pretty!

Yes, she looks like a mix. EE have those puffy cheeks. EE also have slate colored feet which indicate a blue egg layer. I can't tell what color your chicks legs are. Are they slate or yellowish?

 

[MommaK6]

They are bluish green

 

[Flowerbh]

Yes, EE have greenish to slate colored legs.

That's a cool cross! Buff color and blue eggs is a good combination.

 

[Nicolla]

That is a really pretty cross

I have lots of EE's and that's what she looks like to me! You will look like her though. They are very sweet!

 

[MommaK6]

Thanks guys!! I think she is quite pretty too! And she is one of my sweetest ones. I have 2 other EEs as well:

This is shy Norma Jean


And that is Phoebe in the back towards the planter...she likes to snuggle. I love her gray and buff combination

Oh, by the way....if she is a cross between BO and EE, she may produce light green/mint green eggs. When you cross a blue egg layer with a brown egg layer, you usually get some kind of green egg. It sure will be fun to find that first egg!
