In with the Buffs

[OwlandBear]

I had a horrendous year with Tractor Supply. I bought 10 straight run Buff Orpingtons only to discover that 5 of them were, in actuality, Red Sex Links (I got my money back on those).

Then there's this little girl. She's noticeably smaller than her coop-mates (they are approximately 12 weeks old at this point), and I'm thinking some sort of bantam. Any insights?

Looks like a buff orp to me. I don't know if the hatcheries sell a bantam orp, but I'd go with a "runt"/ slow grower.
