I ordered this little Jubilee Orp to help me get over having to put down "Baby Yoda" when he broke his hip a few months ago. (Baby was a cockerel that was supposed to be a pullet, but ended up being one of my favs anyways.) The Orp is supposed to be a pullet, but I'm having some doubts.
I got my batch of (Meyer hatchery) chicks about 3 weeksish ago, and the Orp was the biggest chick standing above the rest right from the start. Now at 3 weeks, her comb is larger, she still much bigger than the rest and she has some huge feet. (She's almost the same size as my 3 week Cornish X). My other little guys are Brahmas, Cochins, and other Orps so not super tiny breeds.
I know its a little early to tell, but would like opinions anyways! I'm going to keep the little one no matter what she/he ends up as.
We named her/him Flashy
