Lavender Orpington?

[MysteryChicken]

Looking back at the picture they appear to be the Beardless variety of Ameracauna, which are frowned upon greatly.

They have giant muffs as chicksView attachment 2468022

I was thinking they were small muffs when I first looked.

Blind. Both have peas, but the first is a cockerel.

Great, I had a feeling. Thank you

They'll grow out as the chick feathers out.

Yes but they are still visible as chicks.

I may be seeing things, but the more I stare at it the more I think you may be correct about small muffs

I had one chick that didn't really have a noticable muff until feathering out. I don't have pictures though, except the now adult bird.

If it helps, this is the second chick the day we brought them home so it would have been just a few days old. Again, was told this one was an Orpington so I didn't question it.

That’s an ameraucana, any good honest breeder could tell. She probably had a rooster escape and breed her orps or she could have Easter Eggers which she mistakenly calls ameraucanas.

It's muffed! Good catch Mystery. It is probably an Ameraucana. @RoostersAreAwesome literally just informed like a minute ago that lavender isn't very common in Easter Eggers. Plus you know for a fact she breeds Ameraucanas.

Yea I didn’t even see it @MysteryChicken I wonder how I missed that. @MINchick does the other have muffs and beard too?
