I got this chicken about a year ago. The store told me it was a buff rock. But it seems to have a different body type then my barred rock or White rock. Is she in orpington?

It does look like a buff Orpington until you get to the leg color. Yellow legs are usually rocks, and Orpington are pink white.

I got her at the feed store, I don't know what hatchery she came from. She just seems fatter and fluffier than the rocks.
 
Since the legs are yellow, I would lean toward her being a Buff Rock. However, hatchery quality birds can have different traits, so it is possible that she is a hatchery quality Buff Orpington with yellow legs instead of the correct white legs.
