Is this a Buff Orpington?! Growing black and white wing pattern!!!

[lunaticfishboy]

Hello I am new and I have a question about this chick I purchased from a local breeder. They had multiple chicks in their brooder and there were 2 supposed Buffs. I got 1 of them and she is 6 days old now. I don’t know if this wing pattern is normal for Buff Orpingtons or if she is a different breed?? I don’t want to replace her she is so sweet but I really wanted a BO. Here is a few pictures of her.

Not a Buff Orpington. Possibly a mix.

It could still be an orpington. But maybe not a pure buff. We invested alot of money in high quality buffs (national champion breeder, breeding longer than I've been on this earth) and were disappointed with our first hatch that revealed the chicks to have a brown leakage (like your black). Most of them have since molted the brown out, but 2 kept it. It would seem other colours were used many generations back to correct a fault in the breeders birds and we were unlucky to have it pop up in our hatchlings.

Couple of my buff chicks came out the same way..
Out of 60 hatchlings, 2 had the same pattern.
I was clueless. I know I have 2 buff roos in that pen.
I guess the neighbors roo jumped the fence..lol
I kept them and see how they'll turn out

I have eight 3 week old buff orpingtons that I bought at my local feed store. One of the eight has the exact same wing pattern as your chick, but the rest look like typical buffs.

Unfortunately no, A couple weeks ago she was killed by a stray cat.
