9 week old Jubilee orp and EE: roos or pullets?

[ksato003]

I'm nervous, y'all. The two in question: blue Easter egger and jubilee orpington.

The jubilee has a more pronounced comb and wattles than my buff orpington, but I've also heard orps develop quickly. My easter egger's hackle feathers and stature make me question if it's a roo too

I can't keep roos where I live, so I'll be bummed if they're both boys. They're gorgeous and sweet.

How can you tell with the jubilee? I'm new to chickens and the breed, just comb and wattles? color pattern?

Yup. At nine weeks the comb tells the tale. A pullet wouldn't have one that large or colorful at that age.

Guess I better head over to the "free rehoming" forum... Thank you all.
