Hi! I just purchased this quartet of jubilee orpingtons. I was told there was 1 roo and 3 pullets, all around 5.5 months old. I know #2 is a roo for sure. He crows all the time and has a larger comb. I was wondering if the other three look like pullets. One crowed the day I brought it home (3 days ago) but it was a very weak crow and it hasn't done it again. #3 has longer tail feathers with a greenish tint, so that's throwing me off as well. It's not the same one that crowed.🤦

Uh oh. Looks kind of to me like your quartet is a barbershop. All boys....
x2, that's what I was thinking.
Usually one of them will act more dominant, but the others will start crowing at some point.
I like the barbershop quartet idea--you will get some interesting harmonies from those four when they all begin to crow.
 
Best get in touch with the seller and demand a refund or replacements. You have a quartet of cockerels. A breeder should know far better! If they breed Orps, they know some can be iffy on sex!

She said she just purchased them. They know they sold her all cockerels.

I did read that part. Just saying that anyone selling Orpingtons should know better and OP should contact the seller regarding this issue. I wouldn’t put up with being ripped off. Especially considering the price of Orpingtons!
 
I was afraid of that. Doggonit!! I'll be calling for my refund.😤

Oh I agree. I would be steaming if someone took advantage of me like that.
