Is this a Buff Orpington??

[cluckcluckluke]

My neighbor said this hen was a Buff Orpington, he doesn't know a lot about chickens but he used to keep them and reckoned he had one just like this. If shes not a Buff Orp. please tell me what breed any way, and im not sure on her age but looks like a POL hen.

Yeah, it does look dark. It's also way thinner than mine. Orpingtons weigh like 8.5 pounds, this one looks more like 5 or 6. I'm not a chicken expert though, so don't rule out the possibility.

also not only is it's body confirmation not right its completely the wrong color for an orp. orps don't have white on them

Red sex link hen.

I agree that she is a Red Sex Link not a Buff Orpington. I have a Buff and my friend has Red Sex Links. Your hen is red not buff.

thanks for the help everyone, i didn't really have any idea but i did think that orps where bigger and they had all those feathers covering their legs.
