I would say buff rock cockerel. I don't breed orps, but I believe the buffs have white legs. Does the hatchery you bought her from sell buff rocks???

I believe you're right......I didn't even pay any attention to the leg color.....was just looking at the comb and wattles.​

Could be - they sent it free and wrote on the box buff orp so I just assumed it was! We are new to chickens so I really am not too sure!

I would check the hatchery's website/catalog and see if they sell Buff Plymouth Rocks or Buff Wyandottes. Many will use a Buff Orpington or Buff Rock to "improve" fertility in Buff Wyandottes. So it could be a cross. But most likely it is a Buff Rock. Single comb, yellow shanks....meets the Standard more for a Buff Rock.

Julie (Bama) here are a few pics for you! Two little grandbabies, the smallest hatched just a few hours ago and by the size of the feet I would say roo.

Can I get some help from you Orps owners?

I am giving away 2 of these and need to pick one to keep. I can't keep roos - do you think any of these are roos? If all are pullets, which would you keep? The new owner will be here in an hour and a half.

The first is sort of skittish, the middle one may be the lower one on the pecking order (noticed when I took them out it looks like the comb got pecked, either that or caught on something)... the last one is the largest and calmest.
