Baby Chicks: Blue/Black/Splash Orpington Female Reviews

4.7 Rating 43 Reviews
My 2 girls are exactly as pictured with darker almost black neck and face on one and the other black neck and face .. blue feathering is gorgeous with the black necks/head. Very healthy girls and one started laying already! My favorite are there dark eyes! Beautiful! Very calm hens and very obedient! Can’t wait for them to go Broody! The Salmon Faverolles and the Barrock roosters have mated with her and can’t wait to see the mix!

This is one of our nicest chickens. She ended up being a splash and gets prettier every day. She is shy but loves to be pet. Super laidback and avoids all the other ladies' drama. Would get a whole flock of these, just the sweetest.

She has a lovely ombre pattern to her feathers: Her head is nearly black, and the color gradually fades to a light charcoal grey at the tail. She's easygoing and has beautiful dark eyes. So happy I chose this breed!

I’m actually surprised this orp has such beaming reviews. Mine came black and has a pretty green sheen but I was hoping for splash or blue. She lays a brown egg every day that has a pinkish tint which is pretty. Personality wise she’s just there. She not flighty but she also doesn’t care to be cuddly. She’s also my grossest hen, poops in the netting box and always seems to be a mess. I think she might be one of the lesser intelligent hens. Overall she’s just meh. I wish I had gotten a different breed.

This girl is a well built bird. She stands taller than the other 6 pullets we received the same day. She’s a beautiful bluish/gray. I just so excited about how well all of the birds have done in the past twelve weeks. All 7 birds are hardy and doing quite well in our backyard coop. If you are looking for a solid hen, I would suggest this breed of Orpington. I will be ordering more of these in the future.

Got two of these chicks back in April one ended up blue the other one splashed. Both are very friendly and getting big and very beautiful. They are just starting to lay reliably but we have 9 young hens this years so they are hard to track whose laying what. This is my third bunch of Orpington also have Buffs and Lavenders. They never disappoint. All very tame and sweet my kids love them. Very happy with our choice.

There is no confusion as she was the only hen in coop # 2 laying until today another hen started laying tho o haven’t caught which one it is yet! Lol But my Splash Orpington is só docile and friendly! Follows me everywhere ! Even into the house! Lol so worth the money ! Don’t regret getting any of my girls from MPC!

Best girl in my flock, very good egg layer. Very hardy girl, first year she took a direct hit from a hawk with some TLC she’s back laying.
