Buff Orpingtons?

[KoFamilyFarm]

Hi, this might have been asked, but I was wondering how to tell the difference between buff orpington roos and pullets because they look the same to me.

I have some pictures here. kofamilyfarm.blogspot.com I know they're not very close pictures, so I'll try to get closer ones and post them here. But, would love to know if I need to go hunting up a rooster or not, and honestly... we just can't tell...

Bigger redder comb and wattle is one way.Bigger legs is another.

Thank you! Hmm... then I might have 2 males and one female, I think. I got some close-up pictures... so if anyone knows if these are boys or girls, please let me know!

They all look like pullets to me.

Actually the one in the middle may be a roo.

Sorry, I can't seem to get the pictures turned the right way. So, I posted them again on my blog (right side up). http://kofamilyfarm.blogspot.com

How old are they and are they straight run?

 

[KoFamilyFarm]

Yes, they're straight run, and I think they're close to a month old.

They're all looking girly to me so far. The boys will suddently get a comb double the size of females and much redder. They also tend to show more wattle development than the girls. You should see this difference by 6 weeks.
