Clearly not a buff orpington...what is she?

[imacowgirl2]

Bought chicks from our local Rural King in early March. This little lady (hopefully!) is clearly not the Buff Orpington that she is supposed to be and all her flock mates in the bin at the store were. Any idea what she is? We purchased 6 chicks...the other 5 are all buff orpingtons like they're supposed to be, and that's all that was labelled to be in the bin, so I have no idea what she might be (we are new to chickens).

Maybe she's just a very light variant. Wait for her to get a bit older. There are different shades of yellow in Orpingtons.

No, she’s definitely not buff and she’s definitely not an orpington.

Looks like a White Leghorn to me.

I think it could be a pullet. But not sure yet.

A pic of my Buff Orpingtons & Buff mix to compare. Not sure what breed yours is, but definitely not Buff in color. There are a few pure white chicken breeds that exist. I once had a White Rock hen, very sweet bird.

This looks like my White Rock, Her name was Lily & she did lay nice brown eggs. I found this interesting comparison to read.

She looks exactly like my white leghorn pullet! This infographic is super helpful. https://lancaster.unl.edu/4h/embryology/ChickGrowthDevelopment17x22.pdf
