Mottled Orpington Egg Hatched - Close up photos - Julie

I have one Ancona hen and they do have the mottled pattern but the resemblence stops there.Ancona's lay white eggs and are much lighter in weight like a leghorn.
 
BTW I love my Ancona with her floppy comb.She lays a nice large white egg but she is just like a leghorn in that she is real flighty.

Lots of chicks look similar in the very beginning. I can assure you these orpingtons in this thread are so very rare I doubt anyone else has anything close to the eggs these came from.

If you were sold Anconas you can be fairly certain they are Anconas.
 
What about the legs when you are trying to sex your chickens?


Here is my GLW at4 weeks.
