Buff Orpingtons

[cthrash1]

the following Buff Orps are a week shy of 4 months old. I know for sure the one next to the wall is a girl, pretty sure the one on the outside is a girl, and the one in the middle may be also as it was slow to develop and it's comb, face, wattles are paler right now than the othe two because of it's slower development. The other two are already turning reddish in the face, etc... So I expect they'll be laying by the end of next month. Just wanted some opinions on the smaller one in the middle.

ETA: the one by the wall had the middle longer tail feathers also before the rest of her tail filled in.

Its hard to say with the angle of the pic, perhaps a facial pic would be a little better. There all very similar in size. I went a good 4 months thinking one of my buff orps was a roo, until she popped an egg out

I don't see any saddle feathers on any of them and their shape/color looks girly to me

From the picture I'd say all pullets. Any roosters of that age should be making some non-feminine noises.

Oh yeah! Didn't think about crowing!!! Duh! Lol they haven't crowed at all they just talk chip chip to each other all the time, and the flock roo doesn't beat them up either. Should have given me a hint there huh, lol!!!
