Buff, hoping for a hen!

[Lisa626]

I have a 4 week old buff orphington that I was told was a pullet. Her comb is getting pinker by the day. I really hope she’s not a roo, she’s my most friendly chick! Can anyone tell?

That comb is big for 4 weeks. It is most likely a boy. The boys tend to be the friendliest. Sorry.

I have 3 buff orpington chicks. One going on 4 weeks and 2 going on 5 weeks. None of their combs are that big and they are not pink. Sold as pullets. Don't know if that's helpful.

Are there wattles too?

I don’t know what they are supposed to look like at this age. Do those look like wattles?

I see pink there. Looks like it to me.

It's a boy, if you can keep it, stop treating it like a pet, pretty much ignore it or it will likely get mean.
