Buff Orpingtons Pullet or Roo??

[havingagreatflockingtime]

Hi All,

I am a new chicken owner. We recently got three buff orpington that are supposedly pullets. However, I think one or even two may be roosters. Does anyone have any opinions? Here are pictures of each at about 5.5 weeks old. Thank you!!

Leslie (is the only one that has a pink / red to her comb and wattle) - First picture is from 5.5 weeks, second pictures is from today about 7 weeks

Tina:

Louise (Her tail is different) - first picture is from 5.5 weeks, second picture is from today about 7 weeks old

Can you get clear photos of the comb and face? I think I'm seeing all pullets for 7 weeks.

They look like pullets to me but I’m not sure that Louise is a buff Orpington

Hi Thanks so much for the quick reply. Here are pictures of all three that I just took:

Leslie:

Louise: (this is the one with the much longer tail than the other two)

Thanks for the quick reply!! Interesting! Louise's personality is very different from the other two. She is more calm and doesn't make a sound when you pick her up.

All look like pullets to me tbh but I don't think Louise is a full BO x

All are pullets. I'm not compelled sure if Louise is a BO. She could just be a unique one, but that tail and her build are throwing me off. Maybe some kind of mix? Is she the same size as the rest? @MysteryChicken @Overo Mare may be able to shed some light on Louises breed.

That tail almost reminds me of an OEGB....

I'm saying pullets for now, especially for the first one, the rest look like pullets.

Tail isn't that unusual. It's a female Squirrel Tail, only a disqualification if you're showing.
Tail shape varies from bird to bird.
