I just hatched four pure Orpington chicks. At least I'm pretty sure they are pure. Their daddy is a blue orp and mom is black orp. I say pretty sure because I have Rhode Island Reds , White Rocks ,and a black orp hen. And I'm pretty sure the only eggs that made it all the way to hatching were from my orp. Anyhoo. I'd like to know if you could tell me what color my chicks will be once they feather out.

Yes- the thrid one is a blue. I have to tell you- I was so excited when I first got my BBS Orps- really wanted alot of blues. Now that they are grown, I like the black girls even more. It's nice to have the variety though
