I am giving away 2 of these and need to pick one to keep. I can't keep roos - do you think any of these are roos? If all are pullets, which would you keep? The new owner will be here in an hour and a half.

The first is sort of skittish, the middle one may be the lower one on the pecking order (noticed when I took them out it looks like the comb got pecked, either that or caught on something)... the last one is the largest and calmest.

They all look like girls...#2 has a slightly redder face, could be a boy, but from the feathering, they all look like females.

ETA - at 10 weeks, it's hard to tell - orps take so long to mature. But if you are going for size, then keep the biggest one.

I had two Buffs last year and one of them had a darker and bigger comb than the other growing up so I thought it was a rooster. Turns out she's a she. I was told that with Buffs it tends to vary with comb size and color for hens.
