Can all 12 actually ALL be ROOS?!?! (photos added)

Updated photos of the BBS Orp trio. All three were thought to be boys. BBSO#2 was lost to a migrating red tail hawk.

Your thoughts appreciated!

BBSO#1 Still saying boy to me.

BBSO#3. Again saying boy to me.

And the BBS Orps

BBSO#1 (repeat just for comparison on head shots - yep, he screams roo)

BBSO #2

BBSO #3

Wow, it's so nice to see updates. I'm so sorry for your losses.

I'm not an expert by any means, but your FBCM is most definitely a girl. My BCM boy had much bigger comb at that age and was crowing. It doesn't look quite right for a BCM, but I'll leave that to the real experts.

On the splash marans, I'd get roo, pullet, pullet.

But again, I"m not an expert, so my guesses shouldn't be taken seriously.

FBCM - pullet

splash marans - trio: roo, pullet, pullet).

I'd say the orps are both boys too, but #2 might be a pullet.

I think your guess are right on. I'm not sure on the Orps. The pics you got of those aren't great. But my personal experience is that those boys are very slow to develop and mature, so if you think yours are both boys, you are probably right. Sorry to hear about your losses to migratory hawks. I lost a lot of birds this winter to hawks as well. That's the price I pay for free ranging I guess.
