8 weeks old gender help

[emrosecobb]

She (fingers crossed) is 8 weeks old. Is anyone able to tell if “she” is actually a pullet, or is it still too soon? Also, I was told she was a sex-link buff leghorn, but a friend told me buff Orpington. Any opinions? Thanks so much for the help!!

Hi there, welcome to BYC!

As far as I know... buff, is NOT sex linked.

Leghorns have yellow legs. The white legs in addition to the body type indicate the one who said Orpington is most likely correct.

If 8 weeks is an accurate age.. indeed that is a cockerel according to comb and waddle size and color. So is the one behind it in the last pic. Gender related saddle feathers aren't in yet to confirm... usually closer to 12 weeks for them.

uncross your fingers and start on plan B.
