Have pictures?

So I have Selma, who has a nice even rounded tail:

And Patty, who has uncontrollable fluff, but her tail seems much less shapely:

I wonder what kind they are. They are 8 weeks in these pics. I got them from a local feed store (family run, not corporate) at about 4 days old.

Those English orps are so poofy, I'm glad I didn't have my hopes up for those! I love them, I want them, but I know I don't have those!

Their color is nice.

Here's how my Orps are looking. They're turning 9 weeks old, tomorrow.

Buff Orpington/Barred Rock mix. He's the only mix in the group.

The Barred Rocks are obvious. The yellow chicks are most like the Buffs, but I can't tell if there's lavenders.

Ruth, BO, 1 yr old, got taken by a coyote a couple weeks ago
Phoebe, blue orp, 5mo- super shy

They're pretty.

 

[MysteryChicken]

Thank you! Really disappointed that Phoebe is so standoffish, she won't take any treats from me still. We'll see if she comes around after she starts to lay. Ruth was the coolest chicken!

Some will be naturally shy, every individual bird is different.

She's definitely a fluffy one.

She's a big ass bird, lol. taller than my brahma

I was talking about the Buff Orpington.
