Like the topic says, these are 8 week old black Orpingtons.
Wow they're hard to get good pictures of! I took 80 total pictures and these are the best. None of them are showing obvious saddle feathers or hackles, just to clarify since it's hard to tell in the pictures.
This first one I thought was a roo but now I'm leaning more toward it being a pullet:

Bird 1 -pic 3 of 3
Odd as it seems, I just can NOT believe this next one is a roo. I know, I know! Huge comb, etc. but it was the first with a tail, first to feather, and it just doesn't "look" like a boy to me. Not that I'm a big expert but still...

This last one, well, I'm just showing off. I love this cockrel. I think he's beautiful and he's super sweet as well.
