UGH.The more I look at it the more it looks like a cockeral.The bird has exploded in size the past couple of weeks.Should it have crowed by now?All the others that turned into Roos all crowed very young.This one has never made any sound.I am not having good luck with these birds.This will be Roo...
Here are the new pics.Again I really don t know the age of this bird.The other pullet was hatched late April.This one is younger.Not sure of age.
This is the older bird.Hatched end of April.They were sold as Orpingtons.But if not they are still pretty birds.
They were sold as Orpingtons.They are quite large birds.I will get better pics.Sorry was offline for a bit.Shouldn t it have crowed by now if it was a Roo?They ones I sent back were crowing like crazy.I see some suspicious feathers..
I have had this bird since it is about 3 wks old.I am not sure of exactly how old it is but it is between 4-5mths.It was supposedly sexed as a pullet.The comb is just so big I am having doubts.It has not crowed or even attempted to.No spurs or saddle feathers seen yet.I am new to this so any...

Ok so here is the Pullet in question.The breeder was guessing at the age when we got it.It could be more like 16 wks.IDK.Here are the 2 together.Crappy pic sorry.
I hope it is not a rooster.It really doesn't look rooish.I had 3 other orpingtons that I returned because the were roos.It doesn't have the big legs,angular face and it has t crowed.My other roos crowed really early.We are guessing at the age it is about 14 could be a little older.I will try...
Not sure if this is the place to ask this question.I have an Orpington Pullet that is 17 wks old.Her comb or lack there of is pinkish.She has no waddles to speak of.Is this normal or is she just slow to develop.She is the largest bird in my flock.I have a RIR and a Barred Rock that are 14 wks...
