I can probably add pictures later.
I just got my order from Meyer Hatchery. I ordered 8 Buff Orpingtons, 2 Welsummers, 2 Partridge Rocks, 2 Rhode Island Reds, and 2 New Hampshires. But is that truly the case? I have 2 of each color, and then a bunch of 8. But those 8 are not yellow. They're black with the white spot on the chest, much like my Australorps and Jersey Giants were when they were chicks. Is there anyway this could be a Buff Orpington? If not, I should probably contact Meyer Hatchery and inform them of the mix up. I looked, and the label had 8 Buff Orpingtons listed, and the actual person wrote in "8" under Buff Orpington.
As much as I love Australorps, I ordered Buffs for a reason.

Here's some pictures. Sorry for the quality. Iphone 5s at work here.

If I'm not mistaken:
The 2 yellows are my New Hampshires.
The 2 golden brown are my Rhode Island Reds.
The 2 dark brown are the Partridge Rocks.
And the other 2 are my Welsummers.
And that leaves those 8 black ones, which are looking more and more like Australorps.
