Buff Orpingtons do have yellow legs. The three lighter ones look like Orpingtons to me except that my pullets are a bit darker than they are. (The hens are lighter and slightly two-toned.) The red one on the left is something else?

It looks like three Buff Orpington pullets and one BO Cockerel and two Salmon Faverolle that look like they are pullets.

Here is the feathersite showing the differences in the feather colours of SF...you can sex them as soon as their primaries show...within a few days of hatching. The picture of the chicks at the bottom of the thread shows the difference.

Agreed on the Salmon Faverolles. We had some but they were so timid that they didn't do well with our more aggressive BRs and WRs.
