Buff Orpington Chicks

[Aao1214]

I have these two buff Orpington chicks that I think are around 3-4 weeks old. Trying to find out if one of them is a rooster so I can rehome him sooner rather than later unfortunately.

Too early to say yet

That’s what I figured but I am SO anxious to know

I would guess, in the first picture, the one on the left is a cockerel due to upper back feathers. Only time will tell tho!!

Yes I think it is too! The feathers have grown in so different than the other one & it’s comb stands taller & has started to turn a little pink! Also not the friendliest one

If I hurried the decision, I wouldn't have 2 amazing hens that I was convinced were cockerels. So worth it to wait and be 100%.

Thank you for this I definitely needed the encouragement to wait it out!

Update on these two. The one of the left is most definitely a cockerel now & is going to a new home today. The one on the right I believe is a pullet but does anyone else think it may be a cockerel? Here’s updated pictures of what she looks like now

I would say pullets.

Wait abit longer to be certain though.
