Buff Orpington - Male or Female

[greergal]

We bought six chicks that were all suppose to be hens -- notice that this Buff Orpington is starting to look more like a Rooster. Is this a male??

Yes. It's a roo

How old are they?

 

[Lothiriel]

Yes, that is a cockerel. Slender, shiny saddle and hackle feathers.

It was hatched July 1, 2011

Shooooot! We cant have him - so sad

I had them with me since they were three days old

Wow.. Yes, definitely a boy.

My girl is older and has much less of a comb than your boy.

Born late May. This is my pullet. You can see the difference.

Yes, that is what our other one looks like - bummer. He is such a beautiful bird!
