I just got 3 buff orpingtons, 13-weeks old, supposedly all hens. This one has curious tail feathers though... It's similar to its sisters in all other respects, any chance it's a hen??
Is this 13-week old buff orpington a rooster?

I believe that it's a pullet.
They are all pullets

A rooster will have redder comb/wattles/and earlobes at this age. Usually hens comb/wattles/and earlobes don't get redder until closer to laying age. Beautiful birds, by the way.Phew! Thank you!you guys are good, how can you tell? I was just going by tail feathers there..
