nutterly_uts Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 I thought these were both Orpingtons, but Chick 1 clearly isn't. So any ideas what I have, and genders? They are a month old, first day out in the sun cause it was nice and warm Chick 1 http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b345/tomcat1/Whatami.jpg Chick 2 http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b345/tomcat1/Grumpy.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickvic Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 No idea but they are seriously cute Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 They could still be Orps. The bottom one has a 'Splash' look about it......and looks like a cockerel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phosphorus Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 No idea on the breed but agree with Egluntine - the second looks like a boy. Both cute Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 I agree that the 2nd picture looks like it might be an orp, but definitely not the first. They both look like boys to me though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 First one looks like it has a bit of Araucana in it, it has a hairdo going on - I'm predicting female. The second one - orpington - not as feathered up as the first, with a more distinctive comb. I'm predicting male. Lovely birds!

feemcg Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Both look like boys to me . Heres a male Buff Orp at 4 weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nutterly_uts Posted May 8, 2009 Author Share Posted May 8, 2009 I suspected Boys, I had them in the garden yesterday and they were squaring up to the light sussex who took no prisoners and did a lot of stomping and discipline, that they then ignored!! What a shame, but I've heard that the other 2 that went a few weeks ago were male too, so it was an all male hatch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
