These aren’t buff orpington chicks right?

[Swinneg]

Hello! I bought three “buff orpingtons” pullets at my local farm store about a week and a half ago and as they’re feathering out I’m starting to think that they might be something different.... any guesses on breed or gender?

first up is Parmesan who is very yellow/creamy with these new black and brown feathers coming in. Her legs are also tanish orange


Next is pepperjack who looks similar to parm but with less black in her wings

finally we have Mozzarella who is smaller than the other two and all white. She also Has bigger wing feathers and tail feathers than the other two. Also her feet are dark gray blueish I guess.

thanks for all your help! Hoping they are at least ladies since we can’t have roosters

What an interesting mix you got! You are right, none of these are Buff Orpingtons. Too early to tell genders. What comb type do they have? I can not tell in photos, but do not look like single combs. Can we get close up photos of combs?

Best guess so far would be Easter Eggers.

You might want to help Mozzarella (love the names!!!) out a bit, nails seem a bit too long

Here’s mozzarellas and parmesans combs

Are you supposed to trim their tiny little nails?

 

[PippinTheChicken]

maybe put her on some gravel or put stones out so they can file them themselves

THEY ARE SO ADORABLE

Those are not buff orpingtons and those nails look fine.

Look like pea combs. They could be Easter Eggers or one of those new hatchery hybrids with fancy names that are essentially also Easter Eggers.
