That was quick! So glad you found them a home!!!

If you’re free ranging them together that’s fine. I abundantly treat in a smaller spread out space when integrating so they get together in these moments and realize there’s enough food to go around. For a couple days when the flocks are still staying together by themselves I’ll treat them about...

Oh wow I wasn’t getting notifications they’ve grown up so much!!!! I loooove the wellies!!!! I’m with @Folly's place as I said earlier in the thread. I would integrate them ASAP the earlier those boys are getting bossed around and kept in line by your hens, the better!

I suppose in some of the specialty/project colors it could be related to how the color is brought in and if you introduce some other attitudes to the gene pool? I think, though, that even most hatchery Orpington males are pretty amicable. I’ve had a couple of breeder English Orpington males...

Yes definitely! But I would go ahead and start letting them see each other ASAP if you have the setup.

This one is the boy wellie And this is the girl she also has such a definite head stripe even still I bet you could tell as a chick she was a pullet, although that’s really not a certain if they’re hatchery.

I’d go ahead and get them with your hens. Whether you keep one or give them all away you’re doing them a service by having the hens raise them ASAP and teach them some manners.

Yes the coloration is a dead giveaway. After that first molt around 5-6 weeks, makes get black chest feathers and females salmon.

I think @chickens really is just saying that comb growth isn’t 100%. (although some of those combs are pretty close to a 90% indicator! ) for sure, like you said, the welsummer is with the black. Females have no black. I’ve only even had cockerels around this year, so I only speak to...

Still hopeful on the Lav and EE because the wattles are non existent. :fl:fl

I think welsummer and buff are pullets. EE and Lav orp I’m on the fence and feel like the next couple of weeks will be telling!

6 weeks ... I’m less on the fence about that Orpington. But I don’t know.... Orpingtons are hard. I’ve had a few 16+ weeks until I could figure it out. In many of your lavender photos the comb does not look like a boy to me. That’s why I asked. It sort of has boyish feathers, but they probably...

I’m on the fence with your EE, that combs big, but at that size I’d think the “three rows boy” rows would be far more predominate IF that was going to be a for sure indicator and it’s not always. the welsummer and buff look like pullets. What’s the lavender?
