“85%-90%”

[AinaWGSD]

I have ordered sexed pullets from a hatchery 3 times over the years, but we're only counting 2 of those because the third time is my current order and the eggs haven't even been laid yet. I've never ended up with an accidental rooster yet. Not even with sexed pullets bought at local farm stores.

Nothing is 100% guaranteed with day old chicks. Even if you spend money on DNA sexing there's still a 0.01% chance it could be wrong. Best thing is to have a contingency plan in place. And if getting an accidental rooster is a deal breaker then the only real guarantee is buying birds that are nearing maturity and you can tell are female.

Here are some updated pics. The girls will be 6 weeks tomorrow.

Is it normal for all this red for Buff Orpington PULLETS??

What do you all think?

Bumping here....
Really need your input on if I have roos.
My BO are 6 weeks today. Can anyone let me know?

My buff Orpington from cackle had me very concerned too, especially compared to my other breeds. I can confirm she is in fact a ‘she’ and we’ve been getting eggs for almost a year. I am newer to chickens so don’t want to guess on yours, but my pullet looked very similar to yours.

Do you have any old pics of when your BO hens was a chick that you can post?
I just see so much red in mine and I don't know if that is normal for my growing pullets.

Sorry, I don’t! I hope someone else can chime in and help though.

I'm thinking they're pullets. They have small combs and wattles, though they are pretty red.
