A picture, or two of the face out of the red light will help?

I wasn’t asking for comments about where my 5 week olds are at night but since You seemed so concerned they are inside at night while the older ones get used them them during the day, thanks

No enlargement, or pinkening of the comb, so it's a pullet. Usually with Orps I see early comb growth on the boys.

Thank you! We had to rehome an orpington rooster recently due to town laws so really wanted this one to be a pullet!

Buffs were easy to sex by the feathers at a couple days old IIRC. Jagged wing feathers female, all feathers same length male.
