Sexing Buff Orpingtons

Pics
Anyone want to take a guess on our almost 5 week BO? Based off the other picts here the comb is pretty small and not much pink for the age so hopeful maybe a girl?


this pic has an odd reddish cast for whatever camera reason. The other two are much closer to color in person. No wattles visible yet.

What do y'all think?

its a little early but that comb is getting bigger.......BAD SIGN UHOH post in about 2 weeks if he is a cockerel we will know then!
 
Know this is an old thread but was wondering if anyone could help me sex my 2 BOs. First 2 pics are BO 1 and second 2 pics are BO2. They are both 5 weeks today. Thanks!

Just a guess but I'd say BO1=is a pullet.
BO2=I'm guessing cockerel
 
after waiting and waiting I had some chicken people come to visit and showed me a way to sex the chickens. I hold it firmly on the body and tip it slightly forward, if the tail feathers spread out like a peacock it's a hen. if they dont do anything its a roo. Finally, I believe. They say comb and wattle don't matter but I have 4 with no comb to speak of who are all hens and everyone with a comb, regardless of how red or how big, is a hen. good luck.
