I found your thread and was just wondering if anyone had a guess on the sex of this chick.
It is a BBS English Orpington. The legs are not the right color?
I appreciate you looking... thank you

It does have the wrong leg color, they are green rather than being slate.

It looks like this bird has yellow skin, which would explain the green legs... which in Orpingtons is a big no no.

Where did you get this bird from? I'd go as far to say that it's not a pure Orpington.

thank you ..I got this chick from a gal who bought fertile eggs from a breeder. I will check with her.

So I'm thinking of separating my blue and blacks ( splash have there own area needs to be bigger I think) But how much room in a coop do you think they need. Id like to make one or two more tractor like coops. I'm thinking of 3-5 chickens in each with of course the runs. I know what Id really like and my husband would be a single man if I even told him what I wanted so I wont go there.
I know everyone will have different ideas and Id love to hear them all.
