Orpington people - What color is this chick

Josie360, we can't see your image, you'll have to upload the pic from your computer via the BYC uploader or Photobucket.

I realized as I posted:/ I'm still learning. I think I got it fixed now

 

[Josie360]

I guess laced isn't the correct term...not sure how to describe her really. She is also maybe a splash? She has darker spots too...any ideas?

 

[Illia]

She's just a black (or dun) with lots of silver leakage. No real name for the color.

I'd say just use her as an egg-layer. That's about her use, that and a mutt maker.

Her body honestly doesn't even conform to either UK or US Orpington Standards.

In any case, Josie, I think her coloring is beautiful.

 

[Illia]

I hope you didn't think I was insulting her. I was just stating fact. She still is beautiful indeed.

 

[Josie360]

No offense taken I like to have pretty chickens around to look at too.

She is definitally pretty.... I knew crossing my Blue and my Buff would give me a unrecognized mix color But they were just to add to my laying flock because my husband is getting upset im stealing all the eggs and putting into incubator haha! I love my Roo and his additude so I figured he would mak a nice Cross for any of my girls to add there babies to my laying flock cuz we love eggs.. can go through a dozen in one morning... so working on my breeding stock seperate from my layers..... here are some pictures of my future layers. sooo cute imo


Father to all - Blue orpington from show stock

Mom to these - my Easter Egger - super sweet girl and im most excited for the cross with her and Blue because of the personalities And She is super fluffy and big

there babies ( Blue Orp x EE) - hoping they grow to be real sweet, big, fluffy pretty layers with beards

And these are my Blue orpington Roo over my Buff hens

And For great egg production I crossed This CA White to my Blue (both in pictures together)

this is there baby

Now here's hoping there all girls!

Thanks LilQtBear for the thread. My buff orpington hatched 10 barn yard mixes yesterday and I'm at a loss as to who the parents are.

I see a few familiar faces among your pics to match to mine. THe dark backs and gold faces. ANd all golds.


Loved seeing your pics. Thanks for sharing.
