What breed are my chickens?

[Isaac95206]

My wife and I purchased four (4) Buff Orpingtons, one (1) Rhode Island Red, and one (1) Barred Rock. They are now 7.5 weeks old and the Buff Orpingtons don't look like the correct breed. They are slightly larger than the Barred Rock. I tried to take pictures of them together for comparison. What breed do you think they are?

White rocks. Great layers. You are not the first person in the past few weeks that thought they were buying buff orps.

Welcome to BYC!

Also sorry to tell you, your Rhode Island Red is a male.

Thank you!

Doesn’t look like the right body/tail shape for white rocks, though I could be wrong. I would post updated pictures when they’re older.

Do you know what other breeds have similar body/ tail shape?

Yes. But those breeds have traits that don’t match up with your chickens, so I’m going to wait to try to ID them.
