What kind of chicken is this? Pics

[organicfoltzfamilyfarm]

I finally have a camera and can post some pictures. I hatched these 2 black and gold chicks out of what was supposed to be Buff Orpington eggs.

They came from light brown eggs. I'm suspecting that they are mixed with BO.

If you need better pics I can take some.

They are 8 weeks old.

Thanks!

Could be buff mix, their faces almost look like buffs. Very pretty feathering!!

Oh and howdy neighbor, just noticed you're in Trafalgar!

I think they are mixed with BO. They are really beautiful. One has completely black legs and feet. They are a little more skittish than my BO chicks.

I just want to know what they are mixed with.

Howdy!!!

Could it possibly be an australorp? Where did you get the eggs?

From a woman that live in Danville. She had given me the rooster for free and asked me if I wanted some eggs.

Here is their brother:

I was think it was Australorp also. But it has me wondering what could have caused the coloring.

Just an odd mixture of genes. We have a mixed buff, well she's not buff she's all black with white lacing around her head and chest. Just the tiniest tint of gold in her wings. Her father was a Jersey Giant.
Pretty boy you have there!

Austrolorps are black so that would have caused that coloring

Yeah is is a pretty

. The only thing was that when she gave him to us he had frost bite. Since then is has gotten worse. I 've done everything I possibly could. Some of the points has already fallen off. He is the sweetest thing on Earth!
