Buff Orpington rooster or hen?

Mister Leghorn · Dec 16, 2014

This one appears obvious, but Mrs. Leghorn demands confirmation before I send them to the big stock pot in the sky. They were sold to us as young hens, but I think they're roosters. Amazingly, they get along fine with my Barred Rock rooster. Thanks in advance.

I agree, looks like a roo...can you get a 'side shot' of it?

Probably a rooster, but how old and can we get a profile shot?

Thanks, everyone. How about this one? Got him in September at about 8 weeks I'm told.

Rooster for sure.

Orpingtons are slower to mature and often the younger cockerels are happy being submissive to on older rooster, that's likley why you've not had issues yet. Come spring, they'll probably want to challenge your older male.
