Hi there, my name is Maddy and i'm planning to compete in the Santa Clara County Fair with my chickens, although I am not doing showmenship.

When I bought these as chicks, they told me they were blue wyandottes or something, and I soon discovered that was wrong.


I will include photos of them, but I need to know the breed asap.
In the fair you cannot show hybrids, and i've seen only two breeds that are identical to my chickens.
Blue bells, and some Orpington.









All of these photos are of the same Hen.
I have three hens, this one, another one which is completely identical, and another which is black, but same build and feather pattern and everything. I bought them all at a feed store when they were 5 days old.

Thank you !

I have actually figured out that they are Blue Orpingtons!
These hens are pullets.

But I do have another question, can blue orpingtons compete at fair?

Thank you very much.
Do you know if they're allowed to compete in show?

 

[questions543]

yes they are.. I cant tell in the pic but if they have feathered feet then their brahmas

 

[hdowden]

the biggest differences is in the combs and the color of the legs over all body shape is the same.

blue wyandotte

blue orps
