Splash Orpington or Delaware Orpington ?!

[SwampQueenChick]

We got this sweet 10-week-old pullet from Tractor Supply. She was supposed to be a Buff Orpington but as she grew, her feathers started to turn lighter. We thought she might be a Splash Orpington because of her markings but she hasn't developed any other patterns. She looks more like a Delaware Orpington. Watcha think?!

Delaware.

Probably a Delaware, they're a somewhat common breed.

Wow! That's a beautiful chicken you have got there, I'd have to say delaware since its a pretty common breed and they look really similar!

She’s a Delaware, not an orpington

She was bought as a buff orp. Two of the others we bought with her are def buffs. What's the difference between Deleware Orpington and a Deleware? Why would they have a Deleware stuck in there with the Buff Orps?!
