I have two 'Buff Orpington' pullets that I bought from feedstore back in March. I never took into consideration the foot color, and noticed a few months ago that one of them has a yellow beak, and yellow legs and feet instead of white. I would show you a pic, but Buff Orpingtons and Buff Rocks look almost identical. Both pullets look fully grown, and the one with the yellow is a tad bigger then the one with the white. Could she just not be purebred? Or do you think she got mixed with the Buff Orpingtons by accident and is probably a Buff Rock?

We have both here..Our Buff Rock is a bit bigger than the BO and she lays like a rock as well..a wee bit better

We love our rocks here..in all the colors.
 
I'm going to give the place a call tomorrow and see if they've ever, by accident, received chicks mixed up in their orders. I still love my pullet regardless if she's a Rock or Orpington, but I wanted to know because it'd be nice to know in general. They both lay the same color and size eggs. Thank you everyone!
 
Here is a picture of her by the way:

I would've posted it sooner but I didn't get a picture of her until today. And sorry, but she isn't going to anyone! She's my little pride and joy

! Whenever I hold a container of food in front of her she'll jump up and peck it so it spills on the ground!
