ORP pullet?

[galanie]

Tail threw me at first too. But then, she's old enough that even if it were a slow feathering birdie, it should have some sort of tail by now. 17 weeks sounds about right to me too.

Jersey Giants will/can have yellow on bottom of feet. Definitely an orpington. Pullet.

There is no lacing what so ever, blue Orps should have some lacing. I think you've a lavender, self blue there, as it's a uniform grey/blue.

Zaxby's2 :

Orpingtons have pink legs. I think you have a blue jersey giant, however it doesn't look very old.

The Standard for Blue Orpingtons calls for "leaden blue" shanks and toes.​

I agree its a roo, it has the Lav gene but its deffinately not Self Blue cause it looks parti colored.

You think at 17 weeks its comb would be that small and no hackle or saddle feathers really visible?

Based on the age I would also say hen.

Any other thoughts on the matter?

I would say at that age a more prominent comb would be present so I'm going to say Orpington pullet.

My Orps are great, they are attention lovers. They jump on my lap so I will pet them.
