HELP. Orps Pullets or Cockerel?!? We have 6 chicks, not sexted, & they are almost 5 weeks old. Born approx April 9, 2014. Two of them clearly stand out color wise as darker with yellow feet & smaller. Of the other four, one is as small as the darker two & has less plumage & is Buff. The remaining three are all Large and Buff in color, total fluff balls- feather wise. Any pullet/ cockerel differentiation at this age & stage? Everything we read is confusing the issue more... We are open to any advice! Also, do you think the darker two are true Buff Orpingtons, or possibly slipped in as another breed? Thank You for any Help!!!

The dark red ones appear to be red sex-link pullets, not Buff Orpingtons. The others look like Buff Orpingtons. #4,5, and 6 look like possible cockerels.
