Buff Orpington - 3 months

[kslizza]

I hatched four Buff Orpingtons on 4/15/13. One was noticeably larger than the rest and I moved him out early assuming it was a cockerel. Two were noticeably feminine. Now that I'm down to a girly one and mystery chick #3, s/he's looking absolutely giant to me. Is Dixie a Dick?

Thanks in advance,
Kelly









Bird in question on right. Clutch mate on left. The tails are developing differently - the big one is getting a darker fountain of feathers - don't know if that means anything.

Yes, your guy looks like a cockerel, mostly from Pic #2 of the pointed saddle feathers growing in.

Ya, those look like saddle feathers coming in, in a young orp the wattles make me think boy also.
