6 Week Old Orpingtons - 1 Roo?

[KaelaM]

My chocolate orpingtons are about 6 weeks old and I suspect one is a cockerel. Thoughts? Number 1 is the one I’m most suspicious of, but I’m honestly not sure about 2 and 3 either.

I think number one is the only cockerel

I think these need more time to develop. I see nothing definite either way with them at this point.

I agree with both of the other comments. Maybe give them a few more weeks, then repost? 1 is the only one that looks suspicious right now, but I'm not fully convinced s/he is a roo.

Thanks! That’s what I was hoping for. I’ve just had such terrible luck getting boys that I’m paranoid

Is 1 looking more like a roo? This is my 8 week old chocolate orpington.... I am also suspicious she might be a he.

Mine is the same age and looks exactly like that. I’ll see if I can get an updated picture.

These are my 2 chocolates together. The one in the front took forever to feather and the one in the back to my maybe roo

Here’s mine, about the same age. I have 3 but couldn’t get a good photo of the 3rd.
