Buff Orpington roosters?????

[lilhill]

These two Buff Orps were supposed to be hens. They are now about 8 months old. I've never heard either of them crow, but have heard the first one "cluck". Me thinks they are not hens. Expert opinions, please.

They look like hens to me, no eggs??

The 1st 1 looks like a roo and the second 1 a hen.

I had several BO "peanuts" last year. The roos were dinner and hens we'd keep. It took almost a year to figure out who was who because several never crowed or laid eggs. ended up all were roos, but one actually lived until last month cuz he was a very docile and nice one. Tasted great as BBQ tho.

No eggs from them yet. Guess I'll just have to wait and see if one starts crowing. Thanks!

occasionally hens crow, so I would be looking for eggs.. roosters never lay eggs..
