How old are they?

 

[norcalsteel]

around 3 months.

My guess would be two pullets, but different breeds mature differently. What breed are they?

 

[norcalsteel]

buff orps , was concerned about the sparring ive seen them do on occasion.

 

[TaylorHobbyFarms]

I still lean towards pullets, especially with that breed. Hens will still establish a pecking order, so I wouldn't base it on the sparring.

thx ,wasn't looking forward to culling them...lol

These look exactly like my three BO pullets that are the same age. My girls will spar on occasion as well, I think they're just establishing pecking order. I originally had four but one turned out to be a roo. It was very obvious that he was a boy by the time they were 4-5 weeks old. His comb and waddles were much bigger and much brighter red. By the time they were 7 weeks old he was crowing. I think if you had a roo you would probably know by now.

my australorps didn't crow till around 4 months, these 2 girls were raised with my incubated Cayuga batch and now think they are ducks and have nothing to do with my established flock.
