Is this a Buff Orpington?

It is 8 weeks old.

Nope, looks like a red sex link.

Yup sure is, looks just like my red sex links!​

Aw, what a cutie patootie! She's definitely a red sex-link. You're going to really love her. She'll lay gangbusters for you once she gets old enough, and she should be a pretty mellow chick.

Ours are so sweet! I love their color.

This is the second breed (out of five breeds) I received that was not in the advertised list of possibilities. You are probably thinking how dumb I am but Red Sex Link was NOT in the list and not knowing anything about chickens, it was the closest in color to the pictures of a buff orpington.

I think shippers should include a packing slip with names of the breeds they are sending.

Red sex link pullet. Im 100 percent sure.

I am happy that they are not roosters. Thanks everyone for taking the time to reply. Since I started on my first chicken project in February, this Forum has been my Bible for information.

I've had people ask if they could get eggs without chicks in them.
