Identify That Chicken!

We got this beautiful hen a year or so ago and told she’s a Jeweled Orpington, but I think she’s a Speckled Sussex. Any ideas as to what she is?

I'd agree with speckled Sussex

I agree she looks like a speckled sussex. Very pretty!

Speckled sussex

And im not sure if it was a mistake, but theres no such thing as a jeweled orpington, i think you might mean jubilee orpington? It’s nothing wrong, just wanted to make sure you knew!
Very pretty chicken, by the way!

The previous owner told us she was a jeweled orpington, but tbh she really didn’t have any clue about chickens. She was more of a collector of pretty breeds and didn’t take great care of them. We initially got 2 from her, and then a year later we took the other 5 of them off her hands and (now) 2 of them were different breeds than she told us, one was missing a toe and had a tumor? I think., and one died of a severe respiratory infection shortly after we got her. So tbh I’m not all that surprised she had the wrong breed names lol.

I think you mean Jubilee Orpington but her body structure looks more like a Speckled Sussex to me.

I'm glad you have them now. If this one is any indication they have a much better home. She looks very healthy and is quite beautiful.

Oh yes I’m glad we were able to take them all in. We’ve only had the 4 new girls for a few months and they’re already looking so much healthier and happier, and much less skittish. And I agree she’s absolutely gorgeous!

Thank you. I only had her for a few weeks but pretty much the whole time I had her in a dog crate in my bedroom because she was so sick and couldn’t be out with the flock. I also thought she was getting better until I woke up and found her gone one day.
