2 Buff orpingtons with white and yellow feet,

[Blessedmamaof3]

We purchased 2 buff Orpington pullets as part of our first flock. We recently started to notice that they have different colored legs, one white (Buttercup), one yellow (Hailey)

. They are 6 weeks old. Is this an indication of sex or is different colored legs normal? They are both incredibly sweet and love being held. Definitely 2 of our favorites.

The one with the yellow legs might be a buff rock instead. Orpingtons have white or pink legs.

Oh no. I don't know anything about buff rocks. I really hope they have the same sweet temperament as the Orpingtons. So far they look exactly the same (other than feet color) and act almost the same. I was hoping it was that one was a male.

Well temperament of the breed can also be individual from bird to bird so if she’s sweet now I’m sure she’ll continue to be.
They both look like females.

I hope so. She is really sweet right now but almost all of our chicks are easy to handle and will perch on our arm/shoulder/head/lap with the exception of the black copper maran, though she is getting better. Im sure they won't all want to be held a lot when they get bigger, so we will enjoy it while it lasts. Thank you for your reply to my question.
