Got these 3 out of a "wait, those cute chicks get older and bigger? " type of situation. They were being kept in a very large cardboard box with the lid closed. No lights. Nothing...
Kids got bored of them, so time to sell.

They don't know what breed but I suspect buff orpington. I think I see 1 roo, but will definitely take better pics in the morning. Said to be 3 months old.
They're so fat! All they do all day is stand in the dark cardboard box I guess.

That'll all change from now on 😊

These were the ad pics. Can see the box they were in.

They honestly all look like pullets to me, at that age. I think I see the one you're thinking is a Cockerel, with the slightly redder comb, but I'd kind of expect the comb to be bigger for a 3m/o roo.
I sure hope so! That would be lovely!

Thank you for taking a look.

Do you think they're buff orps?
 
They do look like Buff Orpingtons. I have one 7 month old and 4 that are 11 weeks. But these are my first orpingtons so I could be wrong.

X2 to redinator, I've only had a couple of buff orpingtons myself, so I can't say for sure, but it's probably a pretty safe guess!
 
They might be buff Orpington mixes, but not purebred Orps since they have yellow legs, not white.

I suspect they are instead buff Plymouth rocks.

I think they are all pullets. No obvious cockerels at this point.

I've never seen buff rocks, that's not saying much tho lol

Thank you for the response!

Thank you for taking a look. Im curious too, what makes you say bantams? They're already a hefty size and not yet of laying age.

Pics from this morning. Probably their first time seeing grass. Poor babies.
