I was told by an Orpington breeder I consulted before putting them on here that they are hens with very pronounced combs, and are older than the rest, since i thought the same thing. There is one who looks like this rooster in this photo from an UK breeder and the rest all look like the hen in it.
hey I’m Lindsay! Originally from NY, now living in NC. We have a back yard flock of about 20 chickens but I’m trying to downsize! I went a bit overboard and a tornado took out one of the pens holdin some of my chickens. Nice to meet everyone!
Hey everyone! I am trying to find someone close to the Hickory area of NC who is interested in purchasing 10 Orpington chickens. I have one lavender rooster, one blue rooster and one mottled rooster; plus 7 mottled hens that need to go. We experienced a tornado in our area, which launched the...
These guys just arrived! Mottled Orpingtons. I have more coming today, different colors. I purchased 6 of these guys, was sent 9 and some how won a raffle of 6 more Orpingtons and 2 Coronation Sussex.

Here's all of my Silkies... one of them we know was a rooster due to watching him crow - he found a new home. Another one from the older crew is crowing but I haven't figured out which one. Any help would be appreciated!
These are my most recent photos of my lavender. Is it still too soon to tell if it's a pullet or a rooster? It's the bravest of the little chick crew and tends to come "check out" anyone who walks into their outdoor pen.
This is our rescued lavender Ameraucana, at least I was told it is lavender. It's about 2-3 weeks old now, the baby of my crew of 9 chickens. Can you tell if it a rooster or pullet at this age? And is it a lavender for sure? She was free, the lady just wanted her to have a home with friends her...
A friend had a bad mishap with a hatching box and this was the sole survivor. I picked this baby up last night and it became immediate friends with my sizzle, frizzle and silkies who are all the same age.
