Differences between buff rocks and buff orpingtons?

[eggsited chickens]

We ordered 3 buff rocks and 3 buff orpingtons but I'm having a terrible time telling the two apart. Does anyone know the differences when they are chicks? I've noticed that 3 of them don't have very big tails and the other three do...is this any help???

I've never had orphs but my buff rocks have yellow legs from very early on.

HTH

I've tried looking that way too, but they all look like they all have the same colored legs.

Orpingtons have white legs and rocks have yellow.

Sometimes Orp chicks have pink legs but will grow out white.

Buff Rocks always have yellow legs.
