Two photos attached showing our 8 week old Buff Orpington Chicks.
I think we have 4 boys and 4 girls - have found homes for 2 of the cockerels and they are being collected this week - so just looking to check that we are 🤞🏼 correct with our gender thoughts!
Thanks you wise ones!! ☺️
So the one on the dirt is our biggest male suspect! The one solo in my son’s arms is also suspected. The two together are possibilities. The other 4 chickens only have a few bumps where the comb is at the moment so we suspect ladies! 🤷♀️🤞🏼
Thanks for your reply. We have decided who the boys are based on size and early development of the wattle and comb.
Wonder if we should hold off for more confidence 🤷♀️🫣
fab! Yes will take pictures later and upload.
We hatched 8 chicks - now 6 weeks old. I ‘think’ we have 2 boys and 6 girls - I have found homes for the boys (joining existing flocks) but what age should I pass them on? What age can I be 100% sure of gender? They are buff Orpington’s
