Are these Buff Orpington Chicks?

[DuckyLou]

I got these pullets at Atwoods hoping they are Buff Orpingtons, but I am not experienced enough to know, and they didn't know at atwoods ( go figure) So I thought I would ask the experts! They are 2 weeks old.

They look like Red Stars, also known as Golden Comets. Buff Orps would feather in with an even color.

Oh ok, I will have to look them up! Thanks!

Yup, Red Sex-Links. Aka Gold Comets, Red Stars, Cinnamon Queens, etc.

They are really good birds that will lay eggs for you like it's the only thing keeping the world turning. Mine are docile and friendly, but I have heard that some hatcheries havn't bothered to keep the personalities nice in their lines.

Thanks so much! Im happy with that... really just in it for the eggs anyway... I would like to have some buff orpingtons someday, but little Lucy and Ethel will be loved just the same!
