*Buff Orpington Thread!*

[MesMama]

Four of my buff Orpingtons have black speckling on their necks and have white skin, does this happen or are the crosses

I would say a cross or somewhere along the line there was a cross that the traits are just coming out. Also the legs look yellow to me? Buffs should be pink

They must be crossed. They do look neat though!

They are prettty birds, but I do agree they are crossed.

Are the yellow legs normal or a genetic fluke

Buff Orpingtons have white skin and white/pinkish legs and normally don't have the "collar" (what I would call a slight feather lacing) around the neck. So they would be a cross with something, but not sure what?

They are nice looking birds.

You may also want to post on the "What Breed Or Gender Is This?" thread, members more knowledgeable than I may have a better understanding of the crosses and breeds, if you'd like to try to figure out what possible cross they could be.

Is this coloring normal? The slight darker tone lacing-

 

[21lnenne]

Can they have the feather laceing without being a cross

 

[21lnenne]

And also the darker laceing is normal mine have it too mesmama

 

[MesMama]

So far I've only noticed this one with the lacing, which made me wonder if it was normal too
