What breed is my baby?

[W.alford]

Hey guys! Well I’m new here and new to raising chickens. About a month ago I got week old Orpingtons that I just love love so much. As they are growing my little birdie mae isn’t looking like the other girls. You can see what a size difference there is. Any clue on what she could be??

Has an upright game type stance, and looks like a pea comb. Is it a bantam?

Oh, birdie.

So this might sound crazy but what about a saipan jungle fowl??

It reminds me of a shamo or maylay but looks bantam. Was it an extra in your Orpington order?

It looks like a bantam. Where did you get them?

They actually gave it to me free because “eh he will probably die. So it can be free or just leave it here” I couldn’t leave it. Absolutely was not an option. I was at a farmers market but it was with all the other Orpington chicks.

Agreed. Shamo or Malay "bantam" if they are the same age.
