Uknown Chicks

[Coffeebean1947]

My daughters chick passed away due to failure to thrive, so we dashed to tractor supply and scored these cuties. No one had a clue what they are.
Clean legs, straight combs, 4 toes.

They look like buff Orpingtons and a red sex link, but I can't tell leg color.

Legs look Orangie to me. I noticed today one has tiny spots of feathers on its legs.

Cheep legs

Also wing tips on two are buff colored, one is buff and black

Hopefully they aren't male sex links.

That's what I'm afraid of. Wouldn't the feathers be white though?

I don't know. There are so many different types. Hopefully someone more familiar with them can answer.

Yes, male sexlinks would have white feathers (except for male black sexlinks, but you certainly do not have those.)

Good! That makes me feel better. Feathers are definitely peachy, not white.
