I bought this chick about 8 weeks ago. It was in a bin with others like it that also had black/white chicks that I do not remember if they were australorp or barred rock. This chick was completely white at the time and has since become a nice buff color. I cannot find any info on a breed that starts out white and turns buff. I don't think it's a buff orp because I have 2 from last year that were light yellow as babies plus all the ones I saw this year were light yellow, too. Here are 2 pics in different lighting.


It has clean legs that are really light yellow/whitish.
I'm not worried about gender, but would really like to know the breed. Thanks!
 
i would guess an orp, or maybe its a cross idk. Sorry im not great at id chickens. P.s. do you know anything about sexing chicks? if you do, please reply to my chick gender post
thanks
 
Hmm. I guess I am having a hard time seeing it as a bo since it didn't start like my others. All I will add is that this chick was so white my DD thought I had bought a cornish cross accidentally. The buff color didn't start to show up until a few weeks after I bought it and it came in very slowly. Is it possible that it may have been crossed with some other breed that threw me off?
