Yellow Legged Buff Orpington?

So they are poor quality Orpingtons, not buff rocks? I guess that makes sense, they are barely yellow, but not at all pink. Well, they are healthy and happy so I'm not worried about it, I just hope they lay well.

my husband ordered the BO for layers and home meat not for show, however he would have been rather upset to find he had received BR instead.

I know this thread is old but it's still helping! I have 3 out of 36 BO, that are apparently BR, which works for me because I do have some barred rock anyway. Thanks for all your knowledge!

So, the breeder I got my Buff Orpingtons from says this guy is definitely an Orpington. Would you agree? Either way, I won't be breeding him on account of his yellow feet. Too bad, he's a lovely big guy

One of my 6 week old buff orpington roosters has yellow legs. The rest of the orpingtons all have pinkish legs, including the other rooster. Beak and feather color are all the same in the 8 chicks. Did the hatchery make a mistake and send me a buff rock instead of a buff orpington?

I got 4 chicks from tractor Supply that were supposed to be Buff Orpingtons, and they all have yellow legs. They are a very pale yellow at 8 weeks. I'm wondering what I really got?!
