Are these chickens really Buff Orpingtons?

It really just depends on your feed store and the hatchery supplying them. Example, though Tetra tints are sold "exclusively" by Mt. Healthy hatchery for Tractor Supply, its just a Rhode Island Red x White Leghorn, so nothing to stop another hatchery selling the same cross under a different name. Also, other hatcheries have similar crosses, Dunlap sells an Amber White that is a Rhode Island Red x Rhode Island White and looks almost identical to the tetra tint. Your best bet is to call the store and see if they can tell you what hatchery/hatcheries supplied during that time frame, the go to the hatchery's website and see what they sell.
Alright, let the investigation begin!
