Hi there! Our 4 black Orpingtons are 7 weeks old and we were wondering if anyone could guess the gender? Also, I think one might be a blue, maybe you can tell?

Thank you!!







This is the one I wonder if it's blue...





The only shot I could get of the four together!

Are you sure they are 7 weeks old? They look more like 4-5 weeks. And yes, it does look like you have a blue.

Here is an 8 week old splash Orp cockerel.


And a splash orp pullet at 8 weeks:



And a blue orp pullet at 5 weeks:
 
what are you feeding them? have you checked for mites/lice? could they be sick with something? do they feel thin (can you feel a fair amount of breast bone)?
