Buff orph gender guessin'

[GreySoul]

Got a few pics to show the differences in my two 12 week old orphs that have me thinking that Mr big comb is a roo. Thanks for the input and sorry for my oddball mug in the pix .

You are correct. One is a roo and one is a pullet.

 

[GreySoul]

You are correct. One is a roo and one is a pullet.

I was hoping so, my straight runs ended up being 90% pullets, and I want to be self sustaining.

As said by BlackHackle, one is a roo and one is a pullet.

 

[Birds of a Feather]

Probably one rooster and one pullet.

I see you recently joined BYC, Given the size of the birds they could be both pullets. Years ago I raised Buff Orpingtons and my males when they were that size had larger combs and wattles. This male was around 6 months old.

At 12 weeks they both look like pullets. Neither has any reddening of the comb. While Orps are slow to develop I would expect a cockerel to have some comb color by now.
