This is J.T. a Buff Orpington Pullet that Jimmy was hatched with, and Jimmy is behind her. J.T. is a pretty small buff orpington pullet she isn't a huge buff orpington hen.

Jimmy is a standard as I said before. Instead of Jimmy you could name her Julia????

I'm not even close to be an expert , and there is not much in the pics to give us perspective as to size . That being said , to me she [ looks like a pullet to me ] appears to be the diluted black commonly called blue , on the smaller end of the range for large fowl , may have some Ameraucana blood , probably has some Orpington blood , and since she came from a bantam egg obviously came from bantam blood . I like her body type and those thick leg shanks so similar to J.T.'s ; they're sturdy looking little hens .
 
Are you sure the egg she hatched from was a bantam egg. Maybe it was a pullet egg from a standard hen. The first eggs they lay are small like bantam eggs.
 
Yes, I'm sure she hatched from a bantam egg. Well I guess she MIGHT be a standard hen, I can try and put her somewhere were there is a light and maybe I can get her to lay some eggs so we can see if shes a B or a S! Oh, Julia! I like it! Any more names? Oh, thanks I just love J.T. to death! She will try and flog ya but other then that shes a fine young pullet I wonna try and put her with my pretty Buff Orpington roo " Prince", and see if I can get some chicks from her! I'll try'n get another pic of Julia up here some time!

This is Julia in the yard, is that any better? I haven't named her yet if anybody else wants to post some more names for her!
 
She has feathered legs and it looks like her feet have yellow on the bottoms - This means she is an easter egger and not a pure ameraucana. Ameraucanas have clean legs and white on the bottoms of their feet, not yellow. I'm curious - what color egg did she hatch from?
