2 month old orpington

[Gmr1089]

The brahma is a girl, but the lady I'm buying from thinks the orpington on the left might be a boy. It looks like a pretty pale and small comb to be a male to me. What do you think?

I would have guessed female for both, but if the lady thinks the Orpington is a boy you could ask her why she thinks that.

The person who actually cares for the chicks is often able to notice things that do not show up in pictures (examples: how it acts, or whether it has a bigger comb than others of the same breed & age.)

She said she isnt sure but needs to rehome and is erring on the side of caution. I guess it has teeny wattles. It's being thrown in with the brahma I'm buying because they're best friends but since she isnt sure it's a freebie bird because she wants them to go together. She said she hasn't noticed any boy sounds or behavior from it

Pullet.

In that case, probably pullet, but not a certainty.

to her for how she's handling the situation, letting you know what she thinks and why, and not charging for a "pullet" if she cannot be not sure.

Yeah she's a really great local lady. I figured I would take the risk. It's always easier to integrate a couple of friend chickens rather than a single. Both breeds were on my wish list anyway but it's hard to find them when they aren't day olds, so !

She just sent these other pictures where it looks a bit more red

I see why the lady might not be sure. I'm not sure either
