Yeah, i understand. But deep down I'm hoping they'll be Orpingtons because from what I've read they're pretty broody and make good mothers and I'd like to be able to have my girls hatch some chicks for me lol

I don't think they are orpingtons. my orpingtons were orange at that age. I would say white rocks, rhode island whites or white leghorn.

Thanks for the info! I'm thinking about making an incubator when my other chickens (three months old right now) start laying and if i can get it to hold temp and humidity right I'll hatch some.

i made an incubator out of an old mini fridge and it works great! I used the plans for the cooler-bator but switched it.

Brown leghorn and white leghorn

Just a check up on this thread. They're now at laying age. I ended up with one white leghorn rooster, two white leghorn hens, one brown leghorn, and two Easter eggers. One i know is a rooster but the other one got eaten by a raccoon around 2 months old. And said ee rooster is now a problem and is probably gonna be food for one of my friends. That or a full time free ranger. Having two roosters on three hens is too rough for the hens and about killed my brown leghorn.
