    Is my 14mo Blue Orpington rooster? Or just a crowing hen?

    Its name is Sophia, has never crowed or shown any rooster behavior before today. Has been bottom of the pecking order since they were young.

    Blue Orpington?

    Hi all, Just quick question. I bought hatching eggs at our local sale barn. Supposed to be lavender and lavender cuckoo only but this little guy looks like a blue one? Or is it just a darker lavender breed? Just curious if anyone else thinks it looks blue. He/she is the only one out of 13 others.
