Am I a boy??????????? RESULTS ARE IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, I was thinking it was a bit young for an orp pullet to lay but with hatchery stock, you never know. I had a sexlink, which is a laying machine though... start at that age once! Crazy huh?

My two Buff Orp girls started at 22 and 23 weeks, respectively. My Blue Orp pullet started at 25 weeks.

it's a pullet, should be getting an egg soon

I doubt that, he/she is only 15 weeks.

I'm posting pics of my two Buff Orp girls at 26 weeks old, after they were laying, so you can draw your own conclusion. First Sunny then Ginger:

it's an early maturing pullet. 4 months is not uncommon for pullet to lay, Especially if they haven't fed a pullet starter

Looks like a girl to me. My 15 week old male has pointy feathers and is crowing. I would bet money that you get an egg out of that pretty GIRL very soon.

Chickflick has two BO's with red combs just like yours where mine have hardly any developement at all. They are 15 weeks and came in same shipment from MM. I'm reallyreallyreally hoping its just early maturing hens. She already has a surprize EE roo that we were suspicious of (or in denial) rate up intill he started crowing.

I'd put my money on it being a girl.

Keep us posted on when the crow or the egg comes, LOL! It does look like a Buff Orp hen, but a much older one that your others. The comb and wattles are just so much in contrast to the others you have and the way mine developed. If she is really 15 weeks old and lays soon, she is a very early developing pullet for the breed.
