Buff Orpington Rooster or Pullet?

[EChicky]

I agree! She is gorgeous! I had a buff brahma who stayed small and one who grew big so I guess it just depends on the chicken.

If you do have a male but do not want chicks, you can collect the eggs every day, and eat them just like any other eggs.

Chicks will not start to grow in the eggs unless they get incubated in an incubator or under a broody hen. If the weather gets incubator-hot, then chicks can also start to develop in the eggs if you leave them in the nest for a few extra days (which is why I recommend collecting them every day.)

Yes, when you want a pullet, it is much nicer to actually have a pullet!
