Buff Orpington cockerel or hen?

Tail hasn’t really come in yet. Will take some in another week

Sorry, I didn't see this at first! He's a cockerel.

8 weeks and Goldie “Hen” is still keeping me guessing I have tried analysing feathers, behaviour etc but I change my mind everyday… walks like a hen, sassy like a cockerel, comb and wattles came in really early but kind of stopped developing about a week or two ago. Slow to feather, but it’s still really hot where I live. I literally think I’m not going to be able to tell until I hear a crow
People keep telling me Buff orps are notorious for fooling you. Hoping this is the case and I do in fact have a Hen…

Cockerel. I’ll buy a hat to eat if that turns out to be a pullet. The legs are huuuuuge.

It still has a small, pale comb but yeah, those thighs. Plus it has deeper coloring at the shoulders. So I agree with Colt. It's a boy.
