    9 Week Old Buff Orpington Sexing

    This bird has stumped me since we brought him/her home! Now that he/she has gotten older, it's not getting any easier so I was hoping for some help... He/she is not very squatty, stands very upright and alert, but hasn't formed any large waddles or comb yet.
