Awww! Gorgeous! That is a lavender cuckcoo!

It looks like a lavender cuckcoo, Isabella or lavender.. it is a bit hard to tell at this age.

for some reason i can't edit this, but it was supposed to say Isabell... Auto correct changes it every time!

I'm keeping my eye on that comb. I think I am in the clear based off of my other Orp's development , although wing feather growth seems a bit slow compared. My guess she is somewhere around 3 weeks. I've had her a week and a half. My CCO are very nice sized. I'm hoping that if she is an ICO she will be good sized with typical Orp temperament. ICO is not a normal hatchery offering.

What will ICO and CCO produce?

Week two. My guess she is between 4-5 weeks.

Beautiful chick would love to see at 8 weeks of age

will do

I'll post weekly.

Why would the feather quality look "weathered"?

Below is my CCO ROO at about the same age. You can see a pronounced comb and wattles coming in. Also he has far less feathers. Eyes are still blue/ grey. I know each individual will mature at different rates but comparing I'm still optimistic that the chick is a pullet. I can't have anymore roosters.

This is mine at 6 weeks definitely a dude. Lol

This is week 4 for us which should put her around 7 weeks at the latest and 6 at the earliest.

No visible wattles and comb is relatively flat across (not raised or more pronounced middle back)

Barring is not well defined , not sure how defined it should be is she is an IC or a LC

Thank you
