Thank you both for the response. The Orpington is about 6 years old. I only have one as the other chick died. I did not hatch them. I'm having an issue trying to upload my photo.
Thanks for your help![VIDEO][/VIDEO]

Look at the comb, wattles, and feather development. Also you can check the legs and see how thick they are. How old is your chick? I have a buff orpington and it really wasn't obvious (for me as I was new to all of it) until about 8wks that I had a roo. Now I can tell faster, but not before. I have 2 buffs so I was comparing and my roo gained weight/size faster, his legs were thicker and started changing to a greyish white color, his comb and wattles were bigger and started pinking/redding a lot faster. My buff girl barely has a comb and wattles and she's 4mos 3 weeks old. I refused to believe it until he woke me up 1 morning with his weak and squeaky toy sounding crow (I knew it already, but I just wanted to "will" him to be a her lol). It didn't take me long at all to fall in love with him all over again as a he instead of a she. He's just so lovable!
