Lol. They are great looking. Are those chocolate colored?
Yeah, I have two chocolate pullets. My black roo Alistair is split to chocolate. The black pullets are just black, no splits.

This is one of my serama roosters keeping the baby chicks warm.. Lol

So cute! Welcome!

If that's a pure orpington cockerel, he's likely to be gentle. And if it's a pure orpington pullet, she's VERY likely to be a good broody for you.

Yep, our orpington hens are good broodys. The australorps we have haven't gone broody. But they make very pretty half australorp, half orpington babies. Which is what I think you've got there.

I was going to say this one's daddy is the orpington and the mom is an australorp. But I'm seriously wondering if daddy's a jersey giant and mom's the orpington....

Well, if Shylo is half Jersey Giant, she will be about the same size as the others for the first three or four weeks, and then will start being noticeably larger than the others. Sure, they grow slowly. But OMG they grow BIG! Also check the chick's feet. If the bottoms are yellow, then that's a giant.
