Chocolate Orp?
Our take
Hey fellow chicken enthusiasts! It’s time for a cluck-tastic breed question that’s got me scratching my head! I recently welcomed some adorable chicks labeled as chocolate Orpingtons from the infamous TS—premium pullets, no less. But here’s the twist: one of my little ladies has feathered feet, and I’m pretty sure chocolate Orpingtons don’t come with that fancy feature! To add to the mystery, she and her two companions are significantly smaller than my other chicks of the same age. Could they be a surprise mix, or is there more to these feathered friends than meets the eye? Let’s put our heads together and figure this out! Any insights would be greatly appreciated! 🐔💖
 | My turn to ask a breed question XD I got chicks from the infamous TS, they were labeled chocolate orpingtons premium pullets. Problem? They have feathered feet and im pretty sure COs dont come with that? What could this lil girl be? She and the other two i got are also WAY smaller than the other chicks i have of the same age.

- Breed?I am new to backyard chickens. I have five, four are five weeks and one is about three weeks. I got the brown chick and gold chick from the same bin labeled "English Orpington," but the brown chick doesn't seem to be an Orpington. She's smaller than her golden sister, and her coloring is different. What breed do you think she is? I included a couple photos of the golden chick for comparison. submitted by /u/archaicdreamsog [link] [comments]
- Big size difference in 5 week old chicks. Should I worry?We think these are either silkie or Orpington, as those are the only types the breeder has. They hatched from two white eggs, and one brown egg. The breeder told us the brown was Orpington. So the brown chick and the runt are both supposed to be silkie but look very different in feathers and size. Should I be concerned about how small the smallest is? submitted by /u/_Chelle_81 [link] [comments]
