Orpington newbie

[PhoebeZed]

Hi there! I have 4, 7 week old chicks. 3 are blush Orpington’s and 1 Plymouth Rock all from the same brood! Now starting to try and work out if I have hens or roosters! I think the Orpington on the right might be a Roo?
Thanks for looking!

The Orpingtons are not Orpingtons and the barred rock is a mixed breed

If they are not Orpingtons what are they? I was told they were blush Orpingtons which fits with pictures I’ve seen

Buff Orpingtons have different skin color and comb types. Those look like Wyandotte crosses.

Buff Colombian Wyandotte..?

Those are quite rare, and only one of them is buff columbian. I’d guess they’re mixes.

Welcome to BYC. The bird to the right is most likely a cockerel.
