An update on my buff orp/blue Cochin, she's 4 months and 5 days old.

And a couple of buffs, I wanted to get input on them to make sure that they are cockerels, they're all about 3-4 months old

One of mine, I'm thinking cockerel

Hatchery orp, most likely cockerel for a 3 month and 10 day old.

One of mine I think pullet

One of my buffs (2.5 months old) has a greenish tint to her legs Is that normal?

I have one the same age. She had purple legs for weeks and then they turned greenish. It's probably some kind of breeding fault but she seems otherwise quite normal.

Hopefully @junebuggena will explain the questions raised here, she if very good on the breed distinctions.
But if I understand correctly Orpingtons should have white skin and white legs, but I would think it also depending on the parentage of the breeding stock used as well. So you will have some color variations, from different breeders, hatcheries and individuals.
