13 week old buff orpington hen or rooster?

I think it looks like a hen. I see no sex feathers

They look so chubby! A big fluff ball....looks like a hen to me.

Lady.....looks like all nine of mine

 

[Happy Chooks]

It's a girl.

I honestly think its a rooster....its legs look awfully think.....sickle feathers look like they may be beginning to turn also.

It's a hen. You can tell the BO roos at five weeks - it's pretty obvious.

5 weeks:

16 weeks:

Check out those legs - they're like tree trunks.

so are those....

I think she's pretty girly.

I wouldn't worry about those tail feathers, either. For example, my BO has 'em.
I LOVE my fluffy Buffy - she's such a hoot. Especially now that she's hatched a single chick (not from her egg).

Here she is with the nine day old GrandChick. (My first! I'm a gramma!)

Here she is before she went broody.

Just for comparison, of course.

The BO in question looks like a hen to me.
