4 week old buff orpington

Pullet or cockerel? If you say cockerel I will cry. I know it’s way way early but he/she is my favorite and I’m having trouble waiting. This is Duckie. Them wattles are concerning me.

I will grab some in just a bit. I was afraid that would be misleading. Just for the record I’m not seeing any pink just yet. I’ll upload more in a bit.

Okay, we can wait.

Ducky was spritely so it was tough getting good photos.

This one below is Sprinkle. She’s my other orpington (presumably…can’t get a for sure ) and is the same age. I put her here for comparison.

That's a Red Sex-link pullet. Not a Buff Orpington. The second is also a Red Sex-link pullet.

THANK YOU. I called tractor supply (my neighbor adopted these chicks and decided they weren’t working out, brought them to us, and asked us to take them. She had no idea what she had) and tried to narrow it down. So over the phone I described them and the tractor supply associate advised they could be buff orpingtons. I only had that to go on, and so I am thrilled to finally know what they are and to see the P word there!
