Another What Breed here.

Still new in the chicken world here Wife and I bought 3 what we were told Buff Orpingtons from a local feed store. I believe 2 are red sex link and not sure on the golden one. Does anyone have a guess. They are now 13 weeks old.

Buff Orpington and either Rhode Island reds or Production reds.

I don't think that's a Buff Orpington--there seems to be some barring and green legs. I would guess she's a Dixie Rainbow, or similar colorful broiler depending on source.

I would call the reds Production Reds, though the lighter could have sold by the hatchery as a New Hampshire and the darker one as a Rhode Island Red.

Your reddish birds are some production reds, the hatchery version of a Rhode Island Red. The lighter bird doesn't really fit any breed, it's not an Orpington, or really buff in color. Looks like a wheaton-ish colored bird. Good news is, they all look female!

The female part is REALLY what I care about most. Can't have Roo's in the city. Going by wha Popsicle posted about the Dixie Rainbow, ( I never heard of) but after googling it mine somewhat resembles that. Especially the neck feathers. But in all, these three are such a riot. I can sit and watch them for hours ( oh wait I have). I introduced them to my other birds over a month ago and they took in rather well. Thanks everyone for your imput.

I'd agree the Dixie Rainbow seems a good fit!

Seems to me that they were common in the bins at TSC.
