Yes.

Conroe, TX

Buff Orpingtons have white skin and a straight comb. BC"s have yellow skin and small cushion combs.
BO roos can weigh up to 10 lbs and hens up to 8 lbs. BC's roos weight up to 7-1/2 lbs and hens 5-1/2 lbs.

Buff Orpingtons are a heavier breed with lots of plumage making them look even bigger. They are friendly and suppose to be good at sitting on eggs and good mothers.

Buff Chantecler are a lighter weight breed than BO's but are suppose to be tolerant in cold temps, they are described as having a vigourous and rustic temperment.

We have Buff Orpingtons. They are sweet, even the roo.

I happen to have both and love them equally. The BO's are the announcers.. while the BC's are a quieter bird.
They are both friendly, as for size both breeds here are identical, the BC's have a heftier chest , while the BO's have fluffier pantiloons.
