Wyandotte or Orpington?

[April0617]

Well, I feel like a dope having to ask this, but do I have Wyandottes or Orpingtons? When I picked these two up when they were about 5 weeks old, I was told by the breeder she was letting them go because they have off-yellow legs. I took that to mean they should be yellow, and were Wyandottes and left it at that. But, as they mature, I'm thinking they are Orpingtons. What throws me is the comb-they don't have as big of combs as other Orpingtons I've seen... It really doesn't matter, they are pets, but I just feel silly calling them Wyandottes if they are Orpingtons. The breeder has both and I feel very silly contacting her six months later to ask her what I bought

They look like Orpingtons.

Please also excuse my ignorance but could they possibly be a mix? They look like silver laced Wyandotte to me because of coloring but the body shape and comb say Orpington. Unless I've just never heard of a silver laced orpington?

The fancy people like @ColtHandorf have SL orps.

A mix did cross my mind, but the more I look at the SL Orpingtons, the more I think that's what I have, with the the wrong colored legs

They are VERY puffy. We've referred to them as bowling balls with legs since we brought them home
