RIR 🐓 x Blue Orpington hen

[FluffyButtFarm]

Hatched 3 eggs from our Blue Orpington hens that had accidentally been with our Rhode Island Red rooster. When I tried to look up this pairing online I could not find a single photo of the chicks. (I only found RIR x Buff Orpington)
So I thought I'd post a pic of the beautiful day old chicks for anyone else who was curious.

I do have these 2. Orpington mixed with something else. Gent called it a kettle krawl. But have found no reference of that name. These are not the parents but part of my current flock for eggs.
