Buff Orp. Is Big Momma really Big Papa?

[sune42]

So, of all the chicks, we named one. She is Big Momma because, well, she is the biggest. Original I know. Anyway, I have been looking today and I am thinking Big Momma may in fact be Big Papa. Any thoughts? These girls will be 5 weeks on Monday the 26th.

Big Momma is on the right, next to my other Buff for comparison.

Tried to get a close up of her legs, but she was sleepy and wasn't having it. So here is part of her foot.

You might want to give a few more weeks. You didnt say how old, but with that much feathering, nothing about her screams "boy" to me. I think she just might be a Big Mama.

She looks like all of my little Buffs girls that I've got in the brooder. I think she can keep her name! At this point comb development would be much more pronounced if she were in fact a he.

Whew! That makes me happy. They are 4 weeks, 5 on Monday. I just thought Big Momma's comb looked bigger than the other Buff. Granted the other Buff is the smallest of all my chicks, but I don't want to compare them to the other two because they are different breeds.

I am very new, but all of the BO roos that I have seen at 4 weeks on this board have big pink combs...
