Buff Orp......Hen or Roo!

[bigdaddyjts1]

Posted this pic of what I thought was my Buff Orpington hen about 5 months old however one person on here insists it looks like a rooster. I am still very new to this and would appreciate any help?

Hen. My BO rooster had a comb bigger then that at 5 weeks.

Awesome, I thought it was a hen but some guy on another thread insisted it was a Roo! Thanks for the help!

It is a bit rooster suspicious, better pictures?

I agree better pictures

I'll try and get some better pics tomorrow, she is just so darn fast and skittish when I pick her up!

How sure are you on the age? Honestly, it looks like a younger cockerel to me. It's got that gawky, gangly look cockerels have, not the pretty, rounded feminine look. But looks more like 3 1/2 -4 months to me.

Looks like a younger cockerel to me too. You could almost make out the saddle feathers and the starting of the sickle shape in the tail feathers. But a more clear photo would make it easier to tell.

I would agree, looks like a younger cockeral to me..
