Is this really a buff orpington?

[Amanda9542]

These pics are both from tonight.

A neighbor gave us this chicken and a Barred Rock on May 19th. They were about 8 weeks at the time. The BR has turned out to be a roo. I am trying to figure out if this one is 1) a buff orpington and 2) a hen or a roo.

This is our first time having chickens so we are still learning

Thanks!
Amanda

That looks like a "sex-link" or other mix

Pullet not sure on breed could be a mix

Looks a little gangly to be a pure BO. And too red. But, she could just be a little awkward.

Definitely a Buff Orp cockerel, I don't see anything that would make my consider him to be a mixed breed or something else.

that is 100% buff orp and also 100% cockerel. pullets do not have the pointed hackles and saddles like he does and i would bet my whole flock of about 30 bantams on him being a cockerel

Agreeing with hdowden and Peeka52. But they are definitely in the awkward phase......
