I have 2 lovely Jubilee Orpingtons. I believe they are girls but someone has put doubt in my mind and thinks they are boys. They are between 2 and 3 months old. I have enclosed photos to ask for your thoughts. Many thanks.

I think they're pullets. My boys REALLY looked like boys by that time. And some of my girls (who are now 20 weeks) looked similar to yours.

Lucky you, both pullets! My first group of 5 chicks gave me 4 cockerels. Do you need a boyfriend for your girls?

I'd love a boy but I don't think my Neigbors would approve!

I just love Orpingtons. I have had 2 buffs in the past who were super sweet. I'm excited to get Jubilees. I am also pleased there is thread dedicated to them. I have a PBR and EE older girls. I'm not looking forward to putting the new girls in (when they are older). I have a big dog cage ready to go in the main run, so they can all get used to each other before they are put together. Fingers crossed

Thanks so much for all your replies.

I hope you don't end with a lot of cockerels. I had some tough luck recently (not Jubilee). Got 8 unsexed chicks and 7 out of 8 turned out to be cockerels. Anyways on the positive side Jubilees are so fun to watch as they transform from yellow chicks to all those beautiful patterns.

Oh i know got my fingers crossed for at least one pullet lol. I have had pretty good luck with my lavenders so hopefully it holds out.
