Orpington Breeds (What are they all?)

[HappyClucker7]

Buff.
Please ignore the glares. It's the look they give when they want me to hand over the mealworms. View attachment 2415989View attachment 2415990View attachment 2415991

I love Lady C. She makes the funniest faces.

I personally have Silver-laced, Blue, Black, Splash, Chocolate, Mauve, Recessive White, and am working on Lavender Silver-laced and Blue Silver-laced. The American Poultry Association only recognizes Buff, Black, Blue, and White Orpingtons (I believe). Other colors include Crele, Cuckoo in Black, Chocolate, Blue, Red, Lemon, etc., Partridge, Red, Isabel, Gold-laced, Jubilee, Blue Jubilee, Lavender, Mottled in Black, Blue, Splash, and Lavender, Birchin, Porcelain, Spangled, and I'm sure I've missed some...

Yes. Overo likened her to Sam the Eagle.
I don't see why.

The jubilee and mottled are so beautiful.
Just to make sure this is clear, their are no behavior or egg color differences between these birds? They all lay the brown egg and all are sweet and gentle?

Also Mauve and Calico.

All Orpingtons should lay a brown egg. Different bloodlines and different colors may behaviorally be a little different from one another. I know all of mine are gentle and mild mannered. I've not had any aggressive males. But those are generalizations. There's always a bird that can defy the mold we think they should fit in. Leg color does change between certain colors as well as eye color.

@ColtHandorf thank you! I was hoping that their behavior didn't change. I have googled the pictures, and i think i should be a Orpington farmer. I also didn't know their was a Calico @FuzzyCritters . Thank you all!
