Coronation Sussex & Black Orpington - Both 10 weeks - Pullet or Cockerel?

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 

I bought what i'm hoping are pullets at 8 weeks. Can anyone suggest otherwise?

 

The Orpington is bigger than the Sussex, or at least fluffier. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

thanks for any help!

thanks for the quick reply.  What gets me worried is, they chest bumping and have stand offs 15x a day.

All chickens do that....even my hens.  It is their way of figuring out the pecking order, and honestly I think it is a bit of play for them also.
