Buff Orpington 4 Month Olds - male or female?

[RocketBen]

I have several 4 month old pullets. I purchased them sexed as females from Meyer Hatchery. So I was a somewhat surprised when at least one of them started CROWING this week.

Investigating, I realized that two of the Buff Orpingtons are much larger than the others, with bigger combs/wattles, stockier legs, and more ornate feathers.

Did I end up with roosters? Or did these hens just eat their wheaties?

Thanks,

I see 2 cockerels. Don’t forget about MH’s sexing guarantee refund for incorrectly sexed birds.

Well, I guess I'll have to figure out what to do with them. I'm not permitted to have roosters where I live.
At least I'll get my $7 back.
