7 week old Buff Orpington

[Nestled Chickens]

We have this guy:

And we are pretty sure he is a rooster based on the coloring of the comb. But he doesn't act like a rooster. He isn't aggressive or pushy at all. Any thoughts?

looks like a boy to me.....his behavior at this age may need be a good indicator.....

I'm no expert, but looks like a boy to me too... Mine (the BO's) haven't acted any different than the hens yet and they are 10 weeks... Only my BR acted a little different, and it hasn't been aggressive, just outgoing... he's the first to check something new out, I remember when they were 2 days old and I changed their bedding, he ran to see what I was doing, while all others ran away!! Still, not agressive YET...

Hope yours stay nice!
