12 week old Blue Orpington Pullet or Cockerel?

[Jennyhen890]

I did the same! I'm actually getting 4 Blue (BBS) Orpingtons next month, lol.

And I'm still very new to chickens and IDing genders is not my strong suit. I'm supposed to get 1 male and 3 females, but you know how it can go.

Yes especially with Orpington’s. I’m getting quite good with other colours now (I have blues, blacks, chocolates and gold laced). So put some pics up when you get your blues and we’ll try to help I have Two young buffs at the moment that I’m struggling with but you know how it goes, they’ll be cockerels, especially the really friendly one that I like

This is the last of my 12 Spring chicks that I am still not 100% sure of gender. This bird has had very big wattles for weeks. The comb is still much lighter than the wattles, but has grown some. 12 weeks tomorrow. I’ve been holding out that maybe “she” just developed wattles early, lol. With the 2 EE roosters I ended up with, it was just so obvious early on, I just don’t get those definitive roo vibes from this one, but I’m a novice so maybe someone with experience with these can give me a definitive? Thanks so much! View attachment 1434653 View attachment 1434654 View attachment 1434655 View attachment 1434656 What do you all think?

What did this beauty end up being???!!! Desperate for a resolution. I’m unreasonably invested at this point.

I looked at her posts. She hasn’t posted since 2019. It was a post saying she had 4 roosters and was attempting to rehome 2 of the 4. I guess we’ll never know.
