This is my favorite chicken from the group I got from TSC in early April. They are all five and a half weeks old, and I was told that the buff chicks would be New Hampshire Reds and the darker ones were Rhode Island Reds, but I think someone was confused about the buffs. Are they Orpingtons? Anyway, Alice is my favorite chicken, and I'm worried she's a he. Opinions?

Her head close up, slightly out-of-focus, sorry.

Pretty sure Dorothy is a hen:

Possibly Scruffy is a rooster? He's still not fully feathered, and all the other buff birds are. He's also a crab.

This is my favorite of the reds, hoping she's a girl.

Alice looks like a hen. Some young Orpingtons have larger combs; ours did, and she turned out to be a hen. Dorothy looks like a hen. Scruffy looks more rooish...

Is the last one a Red sex-link(or Red Star)? If so, then it's a hen. Rooster Red Stars are cream colored with some brown on wings.

If they are RIR's, or NHRs, then I'm not sure...looks like a hen to me.


P.S. yes those golden ones are Buff Orpingtons

I think I'll wait and see who crows and who lays eggs.

And I'll try not to get too attached to Alice/Alex until I know for sure! I appreciate everyone's input, and it's good to know that all hope is not lost on Alice.
