Help! I think Dolly may be a Donald

P.S. If I'm correct, and depending on what else is in him, he could grow up to look like my avatar.

Definitely a Donald, love his colors, I don’t know why but I just love those specific colors on a chicken, I got a blue orp pullet who looks similar just not as much dark on her back.
What kind is he? I had a Easter egger batter mutt mix and she had the same colors (maybe that’s why I like them Bloo was super social and friendly and that color but got eaten by the neighbors cat)

This one is elephant the blue orp. Is he also a blue orp? Andalusian maybe?

Male blues have dark backs (or, at least, they *should* -- not all are up to the standard), and females don't.

Oohh that’s good to know, I don’t know much about orps… or any breeds really, just that they’re really pretty

Ha ok now I'm curious because that bird looks an awful lot like what I was told is my sapphire gem hen before she started laying.

Uh oh, I got mine off Craigslist’s so I don’t know how accurate it is, time for Google

Kay googled, I believe they’re the same thing, same pictures show up when you look up either

Orpingtons and Australorps are very similar, though SOP Orpingtons are rounder and fluffier while SOP Australorps are more -- the best word I can come up with is "athletic" looking.

IIRC, Sapphire Gems have yellow skin while the Orps and Australorps have white skin.

Oohh okay that makes sense, thank you!

Same I do know she has a speckled comb though, that might be because it’s just reddening though. She has grey feet and bright yellow bottom of the feet
