3-4 week old Buff Orpingtons roo?

[Harpie09]

Hi there! I’m new and happy to have joined this community!! I have 7 chicks currently, and I think I may have a buff Orpington roo. I also have black australorps and have a suspected roo there as well. The two we suspect are roosters, I’ve noticed keep having little stand offs which is confirming my suspicions. All of the chicks are 2-4 weeks is it too early to know? Any help is appreciated!!

Welcome to BYC!
Its too early to tell, IMO. None of them are really standing out as a cockerel, in them moment.
Pullets can play fight as well, but it does tend to be more the cocks that do.

Too young to know for sure, but I do believe you may have a Buff Orpington cockerel. Don't think you have an Australorp cockerel from what I can tell.
Update when they're about 6-8 weeks old.

Update it’s been a week and a half so the orpington’s are 5-6 weeks now. Australorp/jersey giants are 4 weeks, one of them is questionable to me. Let me know what you think! And thank you all!

I believe the only cockerel you have is one of the Buff Orpingtons.

One of the Buff Orps does indeed look like a boy.
Could you get a close up pic of the comb of the black one standing behind the grey one in the third photo?
