Buff Orpington 3.5 weeks
Our take
Meet my adorable Buff Orpington chicks, now 3.5 weeks old! Typically, I hatch my little feathered friends at home, but this time, I picked up these sweet day-old pullets from the feed store. They’re absolutely delightful and exude friendliness, making them hard to resist! However, there’s one little overachiever who seems to be getting ahead in the wattle and comb department, leading me to suspect he might be a rooster. It feels a bit early for such conclusions, and I’m eager to hear your thoughts! With all the guessing involved, it’s like a fun game of chicken charades! Join me in this clucky journey as we unravel the mystery of my feathered pals. [link] [comments]
| | I usually hatch at home, but I got these chicks as day old pullets from the feed store. They are absolutely sooo sweet and friendly, but one seems to be ahead in the wattle and comb dept. I think he’s a roo. But it’s so early and I’d love other opinions. I feel like I’m always guessing lol. [link] [comments] |

- 8 week lavender OrpingtonHen or Roo? “Her” comb popped up and got pink early, but then she kind of grew into it and there hasn’t been more wattle growth. I was convinced she was a cockerel at 4/5 weeks. The Turken and legbar with her in the pics are a few weeks younger. She acts like a pullet, for what it’s worth. One of the least dominant and shy chicken. submitted by /u/BrightAd306 [link] [comments]
- Roo or hen?So this dark Brahma has different tail feathers than the rest. They are currently around 7 weeks old. It may be too early to tell if it’s a roo or not but all the others are hens most definitely. They all came from a pullet run. submitted by /u/HopefulArticle6284 [link] [comments]
- Cockerel?I have a feeling that the Orpington in the middle is a cockerel? They are roughly 5.5 weeks. Maybe too early but I feel it’s a lot bigger than the others and the tail feathers seem different. Sorry, first time chicken owner. submitted by /u/SubSoniq [link] [comments]
