Buff orp w/ yellow shanks

[toad62]

Hey, Question for ya... I brought home a new rooster yesterday, a buff orp , looking at him this morniong, I realized he may not be an orp, he has yellow shanks....then again, maybe I am wrong, I thought they all had white shanks?!?!? Any enlightenment would be apppreciated!

Any pics?

Yes, buff orps only have white/pink shanks. Sounds like he's a buff rock...

Pictures would be needed to confirm this.

It could be a buff mincora (sp?). Does it have white earlobes and a leghorn type build?

Maybe a buff leghorn then? They are not common, but somebody on here thought they had a buff orp until it started laying white eggs.
