B/S orps, any pullets and any splash? Pic heavy

Yeah, the saddle feathers have me thinking they're all roos. Don't they have any other giveaways? I thought the roos were darker on top and lighter on the bottom, the pullets being more uniform in color?

*sigh*

I would hate to kill all those pretty birds, but I can't keep that many roos (and what would be the point if I don't have any girls for them?).

If there's a "cape" of pointy saddle feathers hanging over the sides, then it's a rooster, no matter how small the comb is. Orps do not generally have humongous combs, especially as youngsters.

Then I have four beautiful roosters I can't keep.

I'm sorry. Been there many times!

I'm no expert on this breed, but this is my splash orp pullet at 17.5 weeks (so you can see splash color & the rounded saddle feathers).
