Meyers Brown Egg layer assortment mystery chicks

[CoopDeDoo]

Hello,

I have two mystery chicks from my brown egg layer assortment. They are 2 weeks old. Very pale yellow/cream - feathing in with buff, red and dark brown. The dark drown is hard to see in the photos but trust me it is there. I initially thought they were "Golden Buffs" Meyers version of GSLs but now I am not so sure. I have included a photo of the almost "for sure" GSL for comparison.

Thanks for your help!

Edit to add: They have straight combs and yellow legs and are feathering in super fast

I wonder if they are Buff Orphingtons?

buff orpingtons should have white legs so maybe some other kind of sexlink

Meyers only sells Gold Buffs - GSL. And they may turn out to be that. Should know in another few weeks! Thanks for your opinion!

I've had pale Golden Buff chicks like this from Meyer before. They ended up being GSL hens with an unusual amount of white on them. There's hope, at least, that you got what you expected.

I just love working with Meyer, though. I've ordered from several different hatcheries, and Meyer seems to have the personal touch.

Well, shoot. That means the little buff poofballs I received from Meyer this week are not Buff Orpingtons, either, because mine have yellow legs.

Yellow legs?

They didn't come to my mind earlier, but now that I think about it, I think you may have Buff Rocks. Here is a Buff Rock from Meyer:
