I got 3 chicks that are 7 weeks old.
I think they are females and I think one is a buff Orpington.
Would love all your thoughts.

Would like to see the comb of the buff, but all looking female so far. :)

Also, I like the buff color, but maybe a barnyard mix, depending on where you got them. Right color, wrong body type, I think, although I'm not an expert on BO. Just have to see how she grows out. Number 3 looks like a red sexlink.
 
Yeah, you are right about the buff Orp.

I think 2 is probably something like a whiting true green, or some other hatchery hybrid.

3 is either a red sex link like a Golden Comet, or another whiting true green type of Easter egger. Time will tell.

All are pullets.
 
Here is a pic of number 1 face
Female. Can't tell if she's a straight comb or pea comb because the photo is blurry, but it's small and yellow, so female.

She just doesn't have the BO body type. Maybe a buff chantecler, except they have yellow feet and she has white? I don't know what she is, but she's pretty. Streamlined body and a nice pale buff color.
 
All these chicks are from Rural king with questionable accuracy in the correct labeling of bins.

But whatever I ended up with look very interesting at least.
