Cockerel or Pullet

[scottgar12]

Can anyone weigh in on whether these 6-8 week old chickens are cockerels or pullets? They are 2 buff orpingtons and 2 easter eggers. I am relatively new at this but the first one and the third seem like they may be roosters.


Bird #1




Bird #2


Bird #3



Bird #4



Thanks!

I think first is a Cokeral and the rest are pullets

I agree - first one looks like a cockerel, the others more like pullets including bird # 3

To me all female. But i dont know orpinton and could b a male like the others said,but still much feminine 2 me despite crest n dewlap.

Both your Orpingtons look male, sorry.

The EE both look female.

Thanks for the input. It wouldn't surprise me if both orpingtons are male. They seem to face off and charge at each other fairly often. I'm close with my chicken lady and she happily swaps them out for me so I will see how it goes.

Both Orpingtons are cockerels and the rest are pullets.

One with largest comb is an Oprington cockerel.

Birds #3 and #4 are pullets.

I agree with BantamLover21. Both your EEs are pullets, but your Orpingtons are male.
