Something doesn't look right- 12 wk Orpington?

[sherryaustin]

I'm two months into my chicken adventure now.. I bought four 4 wk old chicks the first week in May. One was supposed to be a Buff Orpington... but looking at pictures posted on this forum, I'm wondering if this one isn't something else, or a mix? I have not seen the fluffy cheek feathers on other B.O. pics.. Also, this chicken just looks different (more angular) and I think I may have a rooster.. But since it's the only B.O... I have nothing to compare.. Also, the legs are green, not yellow.. Regardless of what it is, I really like this bird. I've been enjoying reading the forums and am grateful for any help.

Looks like you have yourself an amercaucana or easter egger there! Um... surprise?

Hi, sherryaustin!

I'm pretty sure you have a Easter Egger female. She's beautiful!

You will probably get green eggs from her.

Easter Egger, she sure is pretty! I've never seen a Buff EE before!

Thank-you! I thought Easter Egger might have been the answer... She's a delight, whatever she is.. Colored eggs would just be a bonus! Thanks for the expert opinions, they are much appreciated.
