Got three buff orptingtons in April, they’re now 13.5 weeks old. One of the three has much darker, more pronounced wattles and comb, though is the same size as the other two. The feathers look more hennish to me, but I’m not sure and would appreciate a second opinion! No crows yet, though I’ve read buff orps mature a little slower.
Thank you so much for your expertise, I’m still learning!

That comb is fairly red for the age but the feathers do say hen to me. I would say hen just based on the feathers. My hens do have wattle growth at this age but it isn't this red. I think my roosters were more obvious by this point and they were buff orpingtons as well.
