Sexing 1 month old buff Orpington

[Lin_0330]

Hi everyone,

I have a 1-month old buff Orpington which I really wish it is a she.
I don’t see any development in comb yet, her same hatch brother has already got a big red comb.
I have heard Orpington mature slower and there is a chance she might suddenly grow out a comb in the next few weeks. How likely is that? Given it is already 1 month and there is no comb and no redness whatsoever.

Please if you also have buff Orpington chicks can you post some photos so I can have a compare?

Many thanks

As of now, it's a pullet.

It’s quite young to tell. But it looks female

That little barred rock is male though.

Yep, he is definitely a boy. The black one is still unknown, s/he comb is small as well

Looks like a pullet to me. Here are pictures of my Gerard and Gretchen at 4 weeks (I could tell Gerard was a boy at two weeks, though, based entirely on his behavior - he had that boy chicken swagger . He turned out to be a very sweet boy, though, just too big for the girls, so he has his own bachelor pad right next to them ).

Roughly 6 weeks now.
Big hope she will turn out to be a girl.
Finger crossed
