When I bought my pullets at one week old I got a plymouth rock barred, a silver laced wyandotte and 2 buff orpingtons. They looked the same as chicks until they got feathers. One looks yellow like a buff, but the other one is red..did they sell me a rhode island red and say it was an orpington? Or is this one just red? Is there a way to tell as they get older?

Sorry, but I think you will like her. I think Rhodies are really pretty and great layers.
