What kind of bird (chicken or not) are buffalo wings made out of? They're so small and I wonder if they're from regular chickens or a smaller kind of bird.

They're made from chicken... the wings of chickens in fact. Imagine that!
If your buffalo wings are small, then the place you got them from happens to use the wings of small chickens. You can get bigger chicken wings too. If you were adventurous enough, you could even use turkey wings, but you'd only need one or two.

Kinds of Chicken, Rock Cornish game hen-age 5-6 weeks under 1 1/2 lbs, Broiler age 6-10 weeks 1 1/2-3 1/2 lbs, Roaster 10 weeks - 7 months over 3 1/2 lbs, Capon (castrated male) 5-9 months 5-8 lbs, Hen or fowl over 7 months 3 lbs and up, Cook or rooster over 10 months 4-6 lbs. The reason why they are called buffalo wing is because they were popularized in Buffalo New York, in the mid-70s. The smaller wings are usually from the broiler, fryer or roasters.

some times they use "capons " or "Cornish hens" I used to find Cornish hen parts ( the wings and thighs) in 5 lb boxes and used them to make Buffalo wings for snacks

They are the left overs from the stunted chickens they make chicken soup from.
