Update: Is this a Blue Orpington or Blue Araucana, plus others not so sure about.

Here are new pictures and hopefully someone can help determine breed now! Thanks for all your help. :)[

I have more that need your help but figure this is a good start! :he
 
The blue looks to have a single comb? Is it pink skinned on the feet? and am not seeing any face feathering so vote Orpington. The brown stripy one looks like a Basque. The darker one does seem to have a peacomb, but not seeing any face feathering on it either? ...
 
I am not sure about the others, but the first is an Orpington, as Araucanas don't have tails :)

I ordered both but one died so I wasn't sure which one I had, I also have a pair of lavendar orpington a but they just look different, not sure if it's bedpcause they are older or because they came from breeder. The one you mentioned does have a single comb, and do you mean the top of feet or under? If top, they are black-slate color. What is a basque? Is that a breed or color? The one does have a peacomb, and I will check the face tomorrow. I can get better pictures then too.

Where did you get the birds? Did you also order olive eggers? That might be an EE or OE, just with a clean face.
Bottom of feet, orps are pink/white, JGs yellow.


Omg, thank you so much, I have been trying to figure the Basque out forever. I went and looked at images for this chicken and mine looks exactly like the pictures. It's a big chicken and probably the friendliest chicken I have ever come across. I went and checked feet, they are whitish/pink , I also have JG, and it doesn't look like them. I didn't order OE, but you never know when hatcheries bundle them up. Does it look like an EE? Also here is my pair of lavendar Orpingtons that I bought from a breeder, do they look like male/females and pure breed?
