Got this in my pet chicken "surprise" 25 pack of heavy birds

[JackieinYorktown]

I have three of this type of bird... Any ideas?

I am also wondering about this brown bird with the very white feathers on her breast

No, the hatchery My Pet Chicken, would not have lavender orpingtons LOL! If they did, they would have orders backordered for years!

It could be one of the blue breeds such as Blue Andalusians.

Picture two I would guess, Speckled Sussex.

Dunno, but whatever he/she is, very pretty!!

the first picture maybe an EE?

Not sure about the first one, but the brown one is a Speckled Sussex!

Maybe a blue Orpington then? I wouldn't think an Andalusian would be considered a heavy breed as it is built more like a Leghorn... A light breed large fowl.

No hatcheries offer Blue Orpingtons except for Sandhill Preservation.

Since it does not have feathered feet, I ruled out Blue Cochins.


I will have to look on MPC and see what they have.

Blue Jersey Giant??? The other would appear to be a speckled Sussex.
