This is CLEARLY not a Buff Orpington

[thebritishgangsta]

Picked up what I thought was a buff Orpington rooster but he went from looking like a young buff to suddenly this massive lanky ginger. I still think it’s half buff based on a few things but what could he be crossed with?
Also if my hens are full and he’s half will they have 3/4 buff chickens?

Why do you think he's not 'buff'? buff comes in different shades.

To be honest looks like a buff orp to me but nt a expert lol xx

Definitely buff hah they vary in shade. They’re not all super light.

Lol fair enough! Thank you everyone!

I figured based on his dark Color and the fact that he’s very tall and not mmmm fat? Like the other buff roosters I’ve seen.

Take it u English and on about English buff orps lol mines a big fluffball but it's a she pretty sure thats a buff orp cockerel xx

He is a buff orpington. The reason he is not fat and fluffy is because he is hatchery quality, which tend to be bred for production rather than quality.

Definitely a Buff orp. Hes just hatchery quality. I've found that the roosters are darker than the hens and they go through a very gangly stage before they fill out.
