    Buff Orpington stupid question

    Here are a couple pics of some buffs we hatched out about four weeks ago. There are several that have the large comb like the one pictured. Is this a dead give away that they are roosters? I would hate to get rid of them if there would be a chance that they are hens.

    Run construction question.

    I am planning on framing my run with treated 2X4's, then attaching to wire to that. But before I start building I was wondering if anyone has used other framing materials with any luck, i.e.: pvc pipe, conduit, etc. Pictures would be very helpful too.
