So much information! Thanks everyone, I will try and absorb it all Especially fascinating from Casey ( thank you) which does sound along the lines of what the breeder was saying to me.
The older ( choc) orpingtons have been out for a few hours these last couple of days, I divided the big run with the 3 black Pekins in. They are just about fully feathered and will be getting a new home in the old pigsty soon with Henry, Kellogs and Tallulah. Will be kept separate though!
As for pics, I am sure my daughter has taken some and I will take a few more tomorrow anyway, and post them here.

Found some pics, will take some more soon as well.
Perhaps you might be able to tell me which is which? Still not sure how to tell!

What a beautiful picture of your daughter (?)

The chicks in the pic look quite young, I'd say a week to 10 days old.  They are still very fluffy and chick-like.  Once they get past two week old they grow into very awkward looking things, before starting to look more chicken like again at about 5 weeks.

I'm terribel at guessing the breeds, but Faverolles you can tell by their (extremely cute) muffs, and that they have five toes.

This Faverolles (always capitalized and always plural ) is a day old



I don't know about the orpingtons, as i don't have any experience with them - I like feathery legs lol!

Lovely photos, stree.  And the wee girl looks like she's being so gentle with the chicks.  Delightful!
