Are these really Buff Orpington chicks?

[tommyleeduong]

Hi, I just finally got my approval to raise hens in my backyard. Swung by Tractor Supply and picked up these Buff Orpington pullets. But I'm really having a hard time believing that they are true Buff Orpington. Can the experience individuals enlighten me please.

No, They don't look like Buff Orps to me. I'm sure someone will be able to tell you exactly what they are.

No definitely not buff Orpingtons, not even close. I have some buff Orpington chicks they look nothing like that. Those chicks could be Welbar, cream leg bar, or speckled Sussex chicks. Maybe even an easter egger chick.

Most assuredly NOT Buff Orpington chicks..

I got three speckled sussex a couple weeks ago that looked quite similar.( I am definitely not an expert though )

Here is a photo of mine when she was younger. ( a little over a week old )

thank you everyone, atleast that confirms my suspicion. I need to make sure I get cold hardy chickens as my winter can get quite cold in my area. Can anyone ID them. My area can hit -10 degree F during winter.

If the are speckled sussex, they can handle the cold, mine does. I live in Washington and winters can get pretty chilly. She also gives me 5 beautiful pinkish eggs/week. And she's a very sweet little hen.
