Calico Orpington, gender? Update he just strarted crowing!

[NandosMom]

I'm guessing it's because of that other roo (who is drop-dead gorgeous) that this one is lower on the pecking order and hasn't crowed yet.

Of course, that's an assumption. OP can confirm whether they've heard crowing or not.

Oh yes Nando crows, LOTS!! But he is a gentleman so has tolerated this one.

I don’t have much experience with orps specifically but my first impression is cockerel. Really vibrant colouring and upright stance, bright red comb and wattles even though the comb is small... Looks like some super shiny saddles there too, although it’s hard to tell with all that superb butt fluff.

Yes I know what you mean. This one is hard to figure. I've seen pics of other Cali-Orp roosters and this one isn't like them. But I'm seeing saddle feathers start and hackles are up sometimes....sooooo. Yes my dark Brahma is the king. Love him. But can't have two. Thus my dilemma.

Hope you can find a home for this guy! My guy feathers is also the king haha

Gotta love those benevolent rulers!!!

Oh yes sorry Nando is the D-Brahma, totally awesome 7 mos roo. Big Mack Daddy protector. Seems to be tolerating Poppy who I'm guessing I should rename Peppy.
