Buff breeds

[TammieR]

I have 5 week old chicks from MurrayMcMurray hatchery, from the egg layer assortment. I have two feather-footed buff chicks that I'm assuming are Buff Cochins, since that's the only buff colored, feather-footed breed I see on their website.
However, I also received two, smooth legged, buff colored chicks. The hatchery has three different buff colored, smooth legged chicks. I'm wondering if anyone can determine the breed of these two chicks at this age. My options are Buff Minorcas, Buff Orpington and Buff Rock. I'm super grateful for any help here. The breed doesn't change anything, really, for me. I love them all the same. I'm just curious!

I think you may need to see how they develop. Earlobe color will help to identify them as well as body type. Both will take a little bit yet to develop.

Buff rocks are the only one of the three with yellow legs, and it looks like that is what your chicks have. So I'm going with that.

Agreed

Thanks! I'm patient!

My minorcas have white earlobes.
