I've got buff orpington chicks and don't have a clue at 4 months who's who. Some have redder tints in thier small wattles and cheeks. Are these the roos? I'll try to post pics in the am...
 
The Orp roos will have more red tint to their combs and will have darker and more pronounced wattles under their chins. The pullets combs may be pink or tannish or almost "clear" looking. Wattles will be less pronounced and more pink than red.
 
Thanks for the help! I accidentally hit the post button too many times and posted this 3 times in a row LOL! Posted a pic and all are pullets! Figure the odds on hatching eggs and getting all girls! I do have another batch that are about 3 weeks old and can see definite roos in there. Thanks!
