buff orpington hens or roos...10 weeks old

[mandelyn]

I see #4, #5, and maybe #3 as boys. Too much red for that age. Pullets don't go red until they're about a month out from laying typically. Boys go red much earlier since they "mature" earlier. Time will tell, but the group is definitely not all girls, unfortunately.

Final results were.....3 hens and 2 roosters.

Can anyone help me sex these BO's? I have 5 in all... ALL but 1 got red wattles early on. I have read lots of post on here about sometimes the hens getting red early. Thats what I'm hoping for but reality tells me differently.
