Buff Orpington hen or rooster crowing?

[Parkwestfarm]

Hello,
My beautiful buff started crowing. But she/he does not look like any of the pics of 5 month old cockerels. This started shortly after she was introduced to the flock with her hatchmate at around 41/2 months.

that I can see on the internet so I am bringing the evidence to you good people…very bossy for a buff but I’m not sure if the docile stereotype applies anymore. Easily allows me to pick up, fyi not a farm, park west is the subdivision I live in. Thanks in advance!

That is a definite cockerel.

The blue chicken in the front of the rest is my 4 month old Blue Orpington Rooster. Until he turned about 6 months old we thought he was a she. lol

Lol okay yeah that’s what I thought based on behavior alone but I had a few people insist that he looked like a she so…thanks!

You were right! The deeper colored thin feathers coming in on his back, shoulders and saddle tell the tale. Pullets wouldn't get that.
