The three larger ones were in the chocolate orpington bin, but there's a copper one who doesn't match. I have suspected he was a rooster since the day I bought him, but at that young age he shouldn't look *that* different right? Also any guesses on the little yellow bantam? It was sold as an assorted bantam and the store had no idea what it could possibly be. I'm sure it's hard to tell but if you have any guesses on gender that would also be cool, but not my priority.


Mama hen won't let me get any closer than this so I took a video instead. If I try to get closer for pictures she goes for blood.


I found some older pictures of some of them if that helps.

The pictures are quite far away to definitively tell but I see no Chocolate Orpingtons and instead Black Sexlink pullets. Your bantam is a Mille Fleur d’Uccle
Yeah, I unfortunately can't get closer without a finger being ripped off. Mama hen isn't very friendly without chicks. Without chicks she's downright feral. If I have no orpingtons I'll be a bit annoyed. I loved my orpingtons. My black sex-link is a handful. It would explain their outgoing personality though. I don't know that I want to have more little divas, but I'll take what I can get! I've always wanted a Mille Fleur d’Uccle!! They're so freaking cute. I'll cross my fingers and toes for a hen. That one is incredibly sweet. They're a little mama's chick and tend to hangout with her instead of exploring. The brown/copper one is a bit of a mystery. They had no other chicks that looked like it and had no idea what it could be.
