Are these 11week old ladies Buff Orpingtons?

I have 8 chickens who 5 are 9 weeks and 3 are 11 weeks. These ladies (the light tan ones) are 11 weeks old and I think they are buff orpingtons. Am I correct?

I'm not sure what breed, but I'm pretty positive that those are not Buff Orpingtons. I've raised countless Orpingtons and none of them have looked like that.

No these are not Buff Orpingtons. They are some kind of Red production cross. Most likely ISA brown or Red Sex Link

Thank you! I am going to do some research and see if i can find out what they are, they are so curious and sweet! They LOVE photobombing when I'm taking photos of them all, they have to have all the attention!

Awesome, that definitely helps me to narrow it down a bit. I got them at tractor supply so i'm going to see what hatchery they use and what breeds they have on their website. Thank you!

They could also be New Hampshire Reds.

I agree with @fluffycrow. Tractor Supply uses Hoover's Hatchery.

Highly unlikely. They have way too much white

I think my boyfriend mentioned getting a starlight green egger at Tractor supply and I assumed it would look different than these but in the hoover's hatchery catalog the photo looks exactly like these! I think that is what they are!

We purchased 2 chicks from the Buff Orpington pullet tub at TSC. 1 is an Orpington and the other is a red sex link like the ones you have. I then bought 2 Golden Comet pullets from TSC and 1 looks like the first red sex link and the other like my Buff Orpington. I learned quickly that little yellow chicks at TSC are a great mystery
