7 week old buff orpington gender?

Is this a roo or a pullet? I thought pullet, but now I'm not so sure.


This pic was from about 2 weeks ago.


This one was last week.


This is from this week, she's 7 weeks old here.

Her (his?) comb and wattles have really grown over the last 2 weeks.

Looks like you got a bunch of little dudes there

The Buff appears to be a pullet in my opinion.......Wait a few more weeks......


Cheers!

All 3 in the front of that second photo look like potential cockerels to me too. The fourth one at the back behind the buff looks like a pullet though.
Did you buy straight run?

The little dark one behind the buff in the second image does look very pullet-like to me

I hatched them from eggs. I knew the 2 in front were roos, I was hoping to get at least 50/50 girls and boys. Oh well, it just means that I get to hatch more to get up to the 8 hens that I want

The comb and wattle growth says cockerel, but the lack of reddening in them says it could be a pullet :-/

My roo looked just like that at 7 weeks. I vote boy.
