Looks like buff orpington from bin marked 'mixed large breeds"?

I disagree skeeter. I have orpingtons. Their legs are pinkish white from hatch. They do not hatch yellow and then turn white later.
 
ok,I guess we have to agree to disagree

Buff Orphington
You can't really tell here, but the legs are a pearly pink.

Alalele- you could have a red-sex link. My ISA Browns feathered out a "creamy" white, then the reddish feathers came in a little later. Other options could be White Rock. Feed stores usually don't order in a big variety and the sex links are popular.

I'll have to go look at my Buff Orp babies in the brooder this morning to chime in. It's been a long time since I had Buff Orp chicks and I just remember the pinky baby legs they all had. I'm moving slowly-bad headache last night necessitating lots of meds, so I'm like molasses today. I'll get back to you soon here.
 
Pure Buff Orpington chicks have white or pinkish white legs from day one... Yellow legs would mean Buff Rock .....
 
I have a mystery pullet that looks just like that! So far pure white feathers...I have another that looks to be a splash something. I'll try to post pics soon.
 
I have brand new buff orp babies that hatched out with whitish pink legs. The only chicks Ive had with yellow legs like those are rocks.

I found this on the Orpington site that describes the standard:

Serious defects

Side spikes on comb. White in ear-lobes. Feathers or fluff on the shanks or feet. Long legs. Any deformity. Yellowskin or yellow on the shanks or feet of any variety. Any yellow or sappiness in the white.
