BUFF ORP/ what color legs?

[Hangin Wit My Peeps]

Ok I got a Buff Orpington from Ideal poultry but it's legs are bright yellow. Orps are not suppose to have yellow legs correct? It looks like a buff orp in every other way. See here for pics of her with her two australorp buddies. She is 5 weeks old now. Would she be a mix if her legs are yellow?

Just scroll down to the end of the entry and you will see her pics. Her wing is over her australorp pal

White for Buff Orpingtons. She could be a Buff Plymouth Rock-they have yellow legs and look similar.

They should be pinkish white on a BO.

UGH! Why is it I have problems with orps!?

Every orp I have had so far has YELLOW legs.

I guess I'm going to have to do all my ordering from BYC from now on. These legs are SO yellow that they practically glow! I'm kind of upset...I ordered a buff orp and I think I should have gotten a buff orp. I wonder if others have had this prob?

With yellow legs you could have a Buff Plymouth Rock.

at least you can be sure its not a buff brahma, they have feathered leggs.

I just got 13 BO's from Ideal (via a local feed store). 2 are yellow legged, good to know why.

Thanks to the board oldtimers and mods for tirelessly answering our same newbie questions day in and out!! I am learning so much from this board.

all my buffy girls *and boy, supposed to have been a girl...* have very white legs with just a smidgen of pink undertone

Ok now I"m wondering if I should sell these girls and get my orps? Or should I keep them and get MORE?

Or should I keep them and get MORE?
