Its amarican orpington or english orpingtons ( and color) in this pic my black is english and the lavender behind her is amarican and about the same age.
This is my blue english orpington who is 3 weeks younger than the lavender amarican orpington.

English are bigger birds with tons of fluff.

thank you for your reply.
after posting my Q i did more searchng & reading and found info on English O breeds. they are difficult to find cuz of their difficulty to breed.
this site has a ton of info on the english breed and has many colors... http://www.naturalark.com/engorps.html
I am still in search of Black Orpingtons (pullets/hens and cockrels/roosters). so, if anyone has any contacts or knows of any for sale, i would greatly appreciate your help w/my project.
thanks again

Well this morning went to show my caregiver the neat feeders we made
easy to the bachelor pad noticed a little peep limping stepped in cornered it
the little one had been banded with a zip tie chick grew it didn't we where able towel
it and get the band off I knew she/he had been banded my short term memory isn't there anymore... the feeders cost us maybe 5 bucks each darn Amazon sells them for 99.99 can you believe that

second spot was not sure the janoel12 was turning the eggs as it should
seeing how the hova bator was started a day later shut off the janoel12
putting them all in the hova bator
