Buff Orpingtons all looking like Roos?

[KBsChickies]

Chicks have been so hard to come by with everyone buying them out instantly in our area. We really wanted Buff Orpingtons and so I was able to snag these 3 from TSC 4 weeks ago as straight run. We live in town and, unfortunately, cannot have Roos. I know it’s early but I’m worries all three of them could be roos
Any opinions??

They’re all three so sweet and if they are Roos, I have a great home lined up to take them but my son and I will be so sad to see them go!

Yep. Sorry.

I appreciate the response! I feared they would be.

That is a huge bummer. They're super cute and clearly very friendly.

You have three roos. That's chance.
Great you have a good place for them to live already.
