Help Baby Chick Problem!

[MGG]

Apparently I have no idea how to hold a camera. He was quite an ugly chick.
I don't have many younger photos of him.
Well, maybe I do.

Aw! Oh wow, gorgeous rooster.

What exactly were it's blood parents? Usually you can tell by the comb as soon as they're born. Can you post a pic of it?

Golden Laced Sebright mom and Silver Ducking OEGB roo.
Normal comb... Dang it.

Haha! Ok. Same with me. Ooh, I love love love Orps. What kinds? English?
Me too. Especially to the boys. They have such personalities. Yeah. Maybe my hen will go broody again. That's always a perfect excuse, lol.
X2.

They're all Buff.
I don't know how good quality they are.
I bought the original ones in Ireland, but they seem quite good quality.
Sorry...I'm hijacking a bit.
Ah yes! I know. "Oh no! Just realized my hen has been sitting on eggs... they've developed a bit now...would be cruel to stop them." Yes, yes. Done that before.

Normal comb will still be cute, and easier to sex, too. So cute.

He not ugly. He is so cute!

Thanks! That's my boy Pumpkin.
The chick is his son, actually.
The mother is Pumpkin's daughter...very complicated.

I raised three chicks this year... Pumpkin's son is the Earl of Emsworth (Just called Emsworth), and then I bought two - SLW (cockerel) called Lord Ickenham, and another Buff Orp (pullet) called Lady Constance.

I like to give my birds regal names.

He not ugly. He is so cute!

Thanks, he had his ugly moments though.
Sweet lad though, so far.

That happened to me. My broody hoarded some eggs, one had a little baby. Pulled her off of the eggs and held her. She got so quite and still and looked directly into my eyes for a long time. I broke and let her keep them.

Ireland, oh are you not in the US?
That's cool. Buff birds are so pretty. From what I can tell in the pic, they look pretty nice.
Haha! Yes, totally

Lol, no.
I was originally in the UK, but Ireland is more...cockerel-friendly.
I would assume mine were English, but who knows.
They're all related except for the newest pullet, and they're all quite similar.
I have a very broody strain (whoopeee!)
They're good egg-layers, and quite plump birds. Nice and tubby, just how I like my Orpies.

I really want a different colour variant. Jubilee Orps would do.
Maybe I'll convince Parent #1 and Parent #2 that I need some more hatchlings...

Ok! That makes sense. The roo looks English. Broodies are the best. They sound like perfect Orps! I'm going for BBS Orps. I love anything Blue, lol. Still have to convince the parents too, but if Bella goes broody again it should be much easier.
