How did i not figure that out?!

(But I don't want to change my username, anyway)

Wow. She's really, really pale.

But she's perfectly healthy and definetly a Buff Orp!
Maybe Buff orps are like Golden Retrievers in that way, because you know how some are pale gold and others are almost dark red?

I think what colt was saying is she is light as in not to "perfered" color for buff orp, not that she is not a buff orp. I personally like them lighter, just like yours

You've got to be kidding me.
I just found out that there's a hater with the username orpingtonlover55.

Yeah, I was wondering about that too.
Y’all are causing William Cook to roll in his grave, liking other colors that he didn’t create and giving them the Orpington name even though they’re way too fluffy and susceptible to heat stress and infertility meanwhile, the gorgeous, productive buff Orpingtons he made to perfect the beautiful buff coloring are despised.

Oh I mean the one on the left, bred to the American Standard. I do not like the British clean legged Cochins.

 

[AmeraucanaHank]

Most of us do.

It's really hard to find a "show quality" one.
