outside, except when I'm inside
This is Butter. I got her in a "Brown Egg Layer" assortment from MPC back in October. She is 12 1/2 weeks old. When I first got her, being unsure of what breed she was, I posted her pic on here. Most people thought she was a Buff Orpington. But as she gets older, she is not as full, or as big, as I thought she would be for a BO. In all the pics I have seen of BO pullets, they seem to be alot more fluffy, and bigger than she is. She is even slimmer and sleeker than some of the other standard breeds that she is running around with (as you can see in pic #2). She is bigger than my Silkies though. Is it possible that she is a Sexlink or just a slow maturing Buff Orpington? Or something else? Sorry for the quality of the pics, they were taken with my phone.
Thanks!

she is a buff orpington. the ones from a hatchery are bred for production. birds bred for exhibition are much larger and rounder. she will lay very nicely for you
