Buff Orpingtons - sexing

Date sort Score sort









Here are a few pictures of my Buff Orpington. She was sold to me along with two others as a hen. Sadly the two others were attacked and killed. Now that she is currently my only chicken of egg laying age, I realize I am getting absolutely no eggs. She was also quite a bit bigger than the other hens. I began thinking maybe she is a he instead. No crowing in the mornings. Im not sure how to tell otherwise. Do these pictures give anyone any clues as to whether I have a hen or a rooster?

The leopard spot - 1 wk old. The seller told me that it ment a girl! 'Old wives tale' time will tell...
And fillipo, your buff could b a girl! My glw took just over a year to lay her 1st egg. Listen for a crowing or watch for a egg - maybe a hidden nest somewhere?
 
Filippo looks like a hen to me. I have buffs also around the same age that haven't started laying yet either. Sometimes with the bigger breeds they take longer. I have had some start laying at 5 months and some took around a year. If it was a Roo he would be crowing by now my roos all crowing by 6 months. But hey just my opinion.
