5 week old Orpington, Pullet or Cockerel?

[TheOddOneOut]

@TheOddOneOut i think best thing we can do at this point is skim over and ignore. (although I feel your frustration) All we can really do is provide clear, concise, correct information and let the OP work from there - I think most of us would be a lot more trusting of a well written, thoughtful response than a jumble. And the only behaviour we have control over is our own.

Thanks.
I just can’t stand trolls.
But the quote ‘Don’t argue with a stupid person. They will just bring you down to their level, and then beat you with experience.’ comes to mind.

The ignore feature is a blessing in situations like this. I made the mistake of looking at all the threads/posts made by the troll and almost gave myself an aneurysm.

@TheOddOneOut i think this is the same dude that made the post about white Plymouth rocks and when told the signage was likely wrong at the farm store and they got cornish x by mistake got super angry at everyone

Yup. Troll or someone who lies (they are DEFINITELY NOT a vet) and refuses to learn.

I have 4 buff orpingtons the same age. I bought mine as straight runs.
I have a few question.

Where did you get them?

Did you buy them as straight runs?

Did you buy them sexed?

I hatched mine, so all straight run. This year I hatched 20 Buff Orpingtons total between the incubator and hens. We got a very good hen to roo split with 12 girls and 8 boys. I tried guessing the genders as early as possible and only got one wrong.

What do you think this one is

I would like you opinion

I’d thought this kid a girl for a while, but she’s still quite young and now her tiny amount of waddle development and new assertive personality has me wondering if I was wrong.
Hatched sept 14, has been alone this past week due to being bullied.
