Not so sure she is a BO. Ideas?

[lindym]

The little girl to the front in the first pic was bought the same time as the other 2. We thought all 3 were BO's, but Blondie has so much white from her shoulders back to her tail and also, her legs are somewhat yellow rather than white. Any ideas? they are 8 to 10 weeks old I was told.

Close up

The pics are an odd color as the coop is somewhat dim.

It is hard to tell because of the color of the picture, but she does look like a Buff Orp. Does she have white legs? BOs have white legs.

I have a very light Buff Orp with similar coloring ( hatchery bird). I don' t think it's considered "right" for the breed, but we like her anyway.

On the legs, I have two Buffs from another hatchery whose body color is nice but whose legs were orangey/yellowy when young and then faded to a more appropriate pink/white color.

I'd guess she's likely a BO. Hope this helps.

She could be a Buff Rock, which looks similar, but does have yellow legs.

Could she be a Red Star?

We got her from a neighborhood "breeder" who has quite a number of chickens all running together, so I am sure there has got to be some mixing going on. Her head coloring is like the BO's, but her legs do look quite yellow compared to the other 2.

My DH picked her out because he liked the coloring

Talked with the breeder. She did have some Cinnamon Queens ( a Silver Laced Wyandotte and New Hampshire) and when I did a search, figure this may be what I have. She should lay large brown eggs and may mature fast.

Anyone with other ideas? As I said, she has a lot of various chickens running around.
