Buff Orpington?

[robphenix]

We got this little blue legged sweetheart from a mixed batch of many breeds. We dont know exactly how many weeks old she is. We're thinking buff Orpington. What do you think, folks?

Looks like it could be an Easter Egger/Buff Orpington cross.

I'm thinking EE. What a lovely little girl!

Either EE or EE/Buff Orpington. I have an EE/BO that looks very similar, but it also has some black markings.

I'm also thinking EE or mixed breed.

She could turn out like this...



That is the second slate legged chick you posted.....did they come from a hatchery? Or a breeder and the possibility of being simply barnyard mixes?

I bought them from a local place called Prianti Farms here on Long Island, New York. The manager didn't know too much information about the chicks in specific. He gets them from his uncle, who apparently breeds them; but he didn't even know what kind of chick was what in the mixed batch of all different kinds. So it doesn't seem unlikely that they may both be mixed breeds. I wasn't aware that blue or slate colored legs indicated a mix. She is incredibly sweet and docile though. Thanks for the information folks!
