When can I start asking?

Hi all, my Orphingtons are 4 weeks old now and I really want to know who are the boys and girls! Only 1 or 2 roos get to stay, and they is going to my SIL. My husband and I have a game where daily we go - thats a roo, no, never mind lol. I read a post on the Internet showing feathering patterns in Orphingtons as they grow. From those posts I can pick out at least 2 boys and 2 girls. The rest are a mystery to me.

Good news is I was able to turn off the brooder lamp last night and they did great. They are in a pool in my laundry room which was sitting at 75F so they are plenty warm.

So, can I take some pictures next week and have everyone take some fun guesses? Or should a wait a bit?

You an post now or a week from now - and we may be able to give some feed back - but generally 6+ weeks is best and even then you will often get feedback on some that you need to wait for 10+ weeks. That being said, we never get tired of looking at chickens around here, so post now and a week from now and at 6+ and 10+ weeks, lol.
