Formerly "Too light to be Buff Orpington???"

I got these from the feed store today. They said they were buff orps but I thought they should be a little more golden color than pale yellow. But I've also seen varing shades of adult buff orps too. What is your professional opinion?

They look like white rock chicks to me. In my opinion - I do not think there is a chance at all that they are Buff Orpingtons.

cursed Rural King employees!!! They had one bin labeled as buff orps and a golden laced something (I can't remember) but they had four or five different colored chicks in there. Oh well my bf was wanting some white rocks anyway.

I loved my White Rock hen. She was an excellent layer with a great attitude.

Sorry - they don't look anything like my BO chicks....

BO's have white legs, not yellow...def not a BO. I would say white rock too.

So, I went back to Rural King to get 3 more of the WR chicks and the 2 orps I wanted. Ended up getting a total of 10 more chicks. So, I bought 18 chicks today and was only going to get 7.

Lesson for today, no more trips to the feed store...
