Is this really a buff leghorn?

[armdchicken]

HAHA! Found a pic of her body...but the leghorn is blocking some of her..

 

[armdchicken]

anyone?

Orpington. She is a wide framed bird, leghorns are kinda small framed. Hatchery orps will have a tad bit of white in them.

looks like a orpington hen

Thanks, I knew it wasnt a leghorn because she didnt resemble our brown leghorn the least..

Yeah, too thick for a leghorn

Aren't buff leghorns pretty rare?
I agree, she looks like an orp. Or a leghorn that took a lot of steroids lol. I'd also ask how old she is, that first pic almost looks like shiney hackle feathers?

 

[armdchicken]

no clue on how old she is...we bought her about a week ago from a guy....

Hi, I don't think your Buff bird is an Buff Leghorn.

Look to the pictures in my article or on the tread Breeding Buff Leghorns https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/295163/breeding-buff-leghorns/610#post_8520065


My article you find here: http://www.aviculture-europe.nl/nummers/12E01A03.pdf

BUFF LEGHORNS
a rarity in many countries.

It is only seldom that we see Buff Leghorns.
Still they do exist, worldwide and in different breed types.
We thought it is high time to have an inventory to find out where they are and who is keeping them.
