Buff orpington?

[Farmgirl0422]

This little chick hatched July 10th. So she's 5 days old as of this afternoon. We got the eggs from a friend who was babysitting her neighbors chicken so have no idea what the breed options might be. Anyway, at first glance I thought Buff! Then by day 5 I thought Wow! you have very long legs for a Buff!? But maybe I just can't remember back to when my buffs were chicks. Anyway, if this is obviously a Buff please tell me. If not, please give your suggestions.

It's definitely not a Buff Orpington chick with those yellow legs. I'm thinking it's likely either a White Rock or a White Leghorn chick.

Or quite likely a mixed breed with a white parent. That black smut on the head lends itself to mixed heritage.

You have a good eye. I didn't even see the black smut on its head. )
