So I have a 23 week Buff Orpington that I'm fairly sure is a rooster, however he has not started crowing or showing any interest in the girls? So I was hoping for a second opinion (and crossing my fingers that he's a she as we cant keep roosters in our area)




These are the most recent pictures I have of him but if needed I can go get more! Thank you so very much for helping!!
 
That's a male, no doubt about it. He's going to be a nice one, to bad you can't keep roosters.

Yep, that's a boy alright. Orpingtons can be slower to mature, but if you can't keep males I'd start looking for a home for him now. Crowing could come literally any day now.
 
Yep, only males get saddle feathers. Plus, look at him compared to your hens. He's bigger, leggier, overall more masculine looking.
