Friends, and Chicken Gods and Godesses,

This pullet is 11 Weeks Old. I think she is a Buff Orpington but seems a little small..

Thanks for your help on this.

She looks like a red sex link. I'm going to assume she came from a hatchery, if she didn't none of this applies lol. She'll mature earlier than your other birds, probably, and lay an amazing number of large brown eggs. They're usually very friendly and docile, quiet temperment. They don't get huge, but have good feed/egg conversion. Bred to be high production layers.
 
She looks very similar to my pullets, purchased from our local feed store. We were told they were gold sex links. My neighbor purchased some red sex links from another feed store. -look similar to that, as well. -honestly, I can't tell much of a difference in the gold or red. They are the sweetest chickens! -and as mentioned above, are supposed to be great egg layers.
 
It's a red sex link. There isn't any difference between gold sex links, red sex links, red stars, etc. They are just different names for the same hybrid. Hatcheries will name them pretty much whatever they want to.
