Post Pics Of Orps/ Orpingtons HERE

I'm new to Orps, but the first two look like blue. I don't know the third.
Time will tell I guess.

last one could be a mix between the male and the leghorn

All of these birds are so beautiful everyone. I just bought two buffs and cant wait for them to be full grown to see their full beauty. Does anyone know how long it takes for them to reach their fully feathered size?

Lady Ressler, I'm glad you joined us here on BYC. Welcome!!! Maybe I can help a little. At about 2 months, they should be getting past the "ugly stage". They'll be feathered, but still have a long way to go. Below are some examples of some Buffs that I previously had.

Here's what they looked like at 4 1/2 months. A couple of the pullets were about 2 weeks younger. But, you get the idea.


Here they are at about 8 months.

I doubt it, Leghorns lay white eggs and this egg was cream/brown Orpington egg.

I reckon it is going to be one of those wait and see babies. Interesting looking all the same

hehe...it's ok. I suppose it could be right if egg color isn't considered
