What type is my 8 week old Orpington?

[member 502692]

We got her from the pet shop and all they knew was that she is an Orpington. I'm really confused as to what kind though. At first she was looking like a cuckoo but now her feathers look very different.

I’m not positive, but it could be an Easter Egger, or a mix. How old is it?

About 8 weeks

Does it have a beard? Almost all Easter Eggers have beards.

Can you get a better pic? That’s not a Orp and I don’t think it’s a girl either I see a reddish comb.

Agreed

No she doesn't have a beard. Here's a photo of the other one we got at the same time. I think this one is a boy.

she isn't coming over to me right now so this photo is worse I'm afraid. At least her face is in it.

 

[AlleysChicks]

Definitely a boy, I don’t know breed but he’s very handsome.

He/she kind looks like my brood. They're a mix of ( Male)Orpington/Dominique. She hid her clutch and hatched 13 chicks.
