Hello and greetings from Germany,
I hope someone wouldn’t mind taking a look at my three buff Orpington chicks to determine their gender?
I have attached 2 pictures each of chick number 1 and 2 and three pics of chick number 3.
Thank you very much in advance,
Melanie

Hello and thanks for your thoughts on these chicks! I agree the two darker ones do look like they have something other than Orpington in them. I don’t see any pea combs though.
Oh well, I can’t keep roosters in my neighborhood so I wait another week and then see if someone is looking for a possible Orpington cockerel.

Pea combs.

One of mine with pea comb for comparison.

not the best picture.
 
Thanks for sending, what breed is this nice chicken? I do have some Wyandottes with pea combs for comparison but the orp combs are definitely normal single combs so far. I am concerned that they are turning red rather early though.
EE X Brahma.

Wyandottes have rose combs, not pea combs.

The reddening is what a few have, & is what makes me think you have a few boys.

Wyandottes have rose combs, and your mutts DO have pea combs.

Ok, geez I don’t understand how this happened because the woman I bought the fertilized eggs from did not have any chickens or roosters with pea combs. I don’t mind them being mutts with pea combs or any other mix I need to determine which are cockerels because I can’t have them in my neighborhood.
Maybe I’ll post another couple of pictures in a few days?
Thanks for your help!:)

Do you have any photos of the parents?
That is strange....
