Buff Orpington Roo?

[cmillerrun89]

We ordered this bunch sexed from the hatchery but they threw in two “extras” for shipping and I’m wondering if Shirley is a he! All of their combs look about the same but hers is slightly redder and I see some waddles forming faster than the others. I don’t notice any difference in the leg thickness or feathers, but I am a newbie. They are three months old today. Too soon to tell?

***apologize because earlier I nearly hijacked a thread thinking it was an ongoing polling thread

I think that is a beautiful pullet. Would dearly love to have her in my flock.

Pullet!!

Yay! I’m so glad to hear. She’s one of our favorites in the group and my city doesn’t allow roosters so I would’ve been so sad to see her go. I had a moment of panic

Ok...she really does look dramatically different than the others now but still only due to the comb and wattles. No saddle feathers or difference in the tail feathers....my mom thinks I’m insane for saying this is a pullet still I said it ain’t over until the fat chicken crows!
...I guess

I’m leaning towards that too...but hoping it is some kind of strange hybrid chicken with a large comb

She's close to laying! Keep an eye out
