5 week old Buff Orpingtons. Hen or rooster?

[crizq0]

Hi BYC,

I'm a new urban chicken owner. Is it too early to tell if my chick is a hen or rooster? My two buff orpington's are 5 weeks old and a little different in size and walk a little differently too. The two photos below are of the same chick that I hope is not a rooster. It was too hard to get a good picture.

Here's a video of them walking around.

Nothing is screaming cockerel in the photos you have posted. While 5 weeks is a bit young for definitive gender ID, I would feel comfortable saying likely pullet.
