Hi all ...new here to BYC (check out my Intro) ...anyway we recently got via my son's agriculture class in school what we were told was a Buff Orpington hen. Needless to say a few months later and we discovered its a rooster (trying to figure out how to handle that now

). Not only did it turn out to be a Roo but I seriously doubt its a Buff Orpington as its not gold but more Red. To me judging by the breed pics it looks like a Rhode Island Red ...any ideas?

 
Newhampshire and RIR have yellow legs. When you mix the darker RIR with the lighter Buff Orpington you get lighter bird like Newhampshire with white legs like the bird in question has. Thats why I assume RIR- Orpington mix. Orpingtons have white legs.
