Buff orpington

[karint]

I have 3 5 week old buff Orpington. I know it’s super early but they are all so different so I’m curious. One is obviously a roo and one is obviously a pullet to me so far but number two has me unsure. Maybe cause I think roo but am hoping pullet lol. His/her wattles are small but red but no color in the comb but the comb is bigger then #1 comb.

Yes I know I also have to be patient for a while but I love guessing too

3 is a cockerel, and 1 looks like a definite pullet. I feel 2 could still go either way.

The one is a rooster (darker comb and waddles picture) and the one is a hen. The second one that I wasn’t 100% sure about I’m now 90% sure is also a rooster. I’m probably 100% sure it’s a rooster but just really want it to be a hen. Ironically the most obvious rooster is also the smallest now out of all of them currently.

No sorry I sold number 2 as it was a roo and number 1 and 3 went to my friends flock as a rooster hen pair.
