She's gorgeous.

I thought that colouring was called speckled but I know zilch about fancy breeds. :roll:

She looks like a speckled sussex colouring

Thanks everyone for your kind comments re: Victoria (orpington Jubilee not standard) She and her sister Elizabeth are beautiful hens whatever they REALLY are. The only thing that still sits at the back of my mind is that they lay such tiny eggs... just like bantees

(not standard?) although in size they are giants compared to light sussex. Whatever.... thankyou all again I am enjoying them... my jubilee queeens! very much

ps I am also delighted to have figured out how to post piccies... even if they are giants too... I will work on downsizing them next !

not standard definitly means that they don't meet the standards for the breed, surely if it referred to them being bantams rather than standard size the seller would simply have put 'bantams' instead
