[chicken life14]

Hello everyone,

I have 6 week old buff Orpingtons and when I bought them they are supposed to be pullets however this is my first time raising chickens and I want to confirm if they are actually female.

Rofl. There you go again, Odd.
Love the way 'they will kill the hens by overeating them' was just calmly accepted.

My autocurrent is EVIL.

What!! Noo when will I know for sure?

Well, I think that no pullet would have those combs.
Three is the only one I have hope for.
Did you post pics of all six?

I agree that 3 is the only one that *could* be a pullet, but that comb is quite red already so I lean the other way

Oh, I misunderstood your post.
I think all boys... 3 of them def are.
Here’s my Buff at 8-9 weeks.

If you only have six birds total, there's no way to have four males and only two females together. Roosters do crow, and if they are illegal where you live, rehome all of them as soon as possible.
If legal, still it would be best to eliminate them all, with only two pullets, and no experience having roosters.

Oh my I am a new chicken owner and I am curious, do the rooster get too aggressive, is that why they would need a separate space?

Because they will kill the hens by overmating them. The general rule for heavy breeds is one roo for 6 hens.
