Buff orp? Not so sure...

[luckychickmom]

I purchased this chick as a Buff Orpington pullet, but I'm not sure based on the coloration. She had buff coloration to begin with, and has pink tinted legs. Now her feathers are coming in brown/black patterned with white borders. What do you think? Buff orp or something else? If she isn't a buff orp, what is she?

Definitely not buff orp, but I'm not sure what she is? Did you get her at the feed store or from a hatchery or a person? Feed stores often get mixed up chicks in the wrong bin, so maybe got placed wrong.

My orps did not have color on their wings.
Life is fun this way....

Definitely not a buff Orp, looks like she could be a red of some kind.
RIR comes to mind, but I think Buckeyes, production reds and NH reds all look sorta similar at that point. You will know more as she feathers out, because she'll probably look a lot different as she grows up!

That looks like what my Rhode Island Red looked as a chick. Cute!

I would guess Rhode Island Red also....

She looks RIR....or RSL or something along those lines possibly.....

No buff orp, sorry!

This is my RIR chicks ( mixed w/ cuckoo maran the black ones)

My buff Orp ( the gold - others are brownleg horn and jersey giant)

RIR...that's what I would have guessed based on research! I got "her" (here's hoping that someone got that right!) at the local Co-op. I wasn't too confident with the knowledge of the people there to begin with. I was going for heritage breeds, but ended up with comets, too. Might as well have a RIR or red-sex link!

Snowhorse...those could be my chick! Thanks for your help!

They look more like a Production Red or even a New Hampshire, I would think even hatchery R.I. Reds should be darker and have less white in them..
