Why does she look like this?

[SuperWhoLockian]

Hi all!

One of my week old (roughly, bought not bred) looks different than all of the pictures I’ve seen of a Buff Orpington at this age. Is she actually a HE? Not really a Buff? Thanks for help!

I believe you have a New Hampshire chick, but a Buff Orpington.

Thanks. Now I wonder about the other 3.

2 Buff Orpingtons, & 2 New Hampshires.

Son of a…. THANKS! I’ll keep my new babies but they were all supposed to be Buffs! Besides looking different, are they personalities very different? Their eggs? Ugh! On to more research. Oh! Do the black ones look right for Barred Rocks?

New Hampshires will be great! And, yes, those look like BRs to me.

I've only had New Hampshires once, & the cockerel was a total butt head. The pullet was a sweet heart.

I need feet/leg pictures to confirm if they're Barred Rocks, or Cuckoo Marans.

Ah, yes. Leg and foot color.
