Orpingtons Only Club

[MysteryChicken]

I've only ever had 1 Orp, it was a Buff rooster. Unfortunately he got taken by a fox 2 days after I got him. He never had a tail either.

He looks nice, what happened to his tail?

I’m a newbie to all of this! Each of my family members purchased their own fav breed of chickens. I opted for the Orpington! Our local hatchery sold out of this breed super fast so I bought from a local breeder. My four are suppose to be all Orpington- Two buffs and two lavenders. They also sold a variety of other Orpingtons. They are still only 1 week but I’m unsure if two of them are fully Orpington. I guess time will tell. Here they are!

If I'm correct in thinking the last has some foot feathering, I'd be questioning the breeder.

Okay, he must've had been a very unlucky roo.

Yes it does, good job noticing it.

It's possible it could be a Blue Marans, or a mix. But it could be residual from the Cochin that was used in the making of the Orpingtons.

I myself had leg feathers pop up in my F1 Wheaten Crele Orpington rooster.
They fell out once he reached 6 months old though.

It was Dino. The leg feathering is very light, & barely visible.

How are the peeps looking?

They are still probably too young (Two weeks) but I'll send you a few recent pics.

They're looking good.

The blue one, might be a Blue Marans though.

I'll be sharing some pictures of some chicks that'll be hatching soon, some project Wheaten Crele Orpington chicks, but these guys are part of a group I'm selling though.
Lockdown is in 6 days.
