I was told these two, four-week old chicks were Buff Orpingtons, but over the past few days I'm really not sure. They were bought on 3/29 from TSC in the same lot of assorted pullets, and have pretty much matched each other in color and growth. The day before yesterday however, I noticed the comb difference in these two. As you can see by the pics, they are different. You can also see one decided to squat on my work bench for the photo session, while the other decided to stretch out a bit, but they are pretty much equal in size despite the photos.

Any-who...I'm wondering a couple things. First, are they even Buff Orps, and second, are they two different breeds, and finally, are they the same sex?

What do you experts think about those combs? I hope the pictures show the difference that I see.

TIA,

Mark

Interesting! I didn't think of Buff Rocks!

Do you think that the comb on the chick in the first photo looks a bit like the beginning of a rose comb, or is it just me?
