Breed issue resolved - Thank you :)

[MIKE555444]

Ok I bought my flock from a local farm store near where I live. They sold me all Buff Orpington pullets and that is what I got. I then started looking for a BO rooster and found one a month ago that was a year old. The people who sold him to me had a 5 roos and I assumed they were all full stalk BO so I tried to pick the best one. Took him home and thought I was set to raise full stalk BO.

While posting on another thread other have pointed out that he may not be BO after all

So I will ask the forum the most common question in this tread:
WHAT BREED IS THIS??

****** This has been resolved - sorry for the question******

Those are Buff Orpingtons.


Hatchery quality birds have much more color fluctuation than exhibition quality birds.

It's clear, Buff Orpington

I know the Pullets are but

WHAT ABOUT THE ROO?

Looks like a beautiful B.O. roo to me too - unless those are feathered legs/feet - can't really see his legs in the pic. Why did "others" say it was NOT a B.O.???

I am not sure but I think is comb is wrong. Google buff orpingtons and look at the combs.

The rooster appears to be a Buff Orpington as well. His beak is white and I am assuming his legs are white as well. Both are indicators of a Buff Orpington. Buff Orpingtons have a single comb, so he has the correct type of comb.

If you look at the first picture, it looks like he has his foot up off the ground. He looks like his feet are feathered, so that would eliminate pure stock BO.

See, I thought it was windy and that was his lower leg fluff coming upwards???

OK... OP, are his legs feathered or is it a trick of the wind?
