Easy gender test

[petrelline]

These are 15 week old chickens and I'm 85% sure of their genders -- I just want to get that last 15% before sell them as started pullets or put them in the pot. There are 4 chickens under discussion: buff orp, splash orp, BLRW, light brahma.

Roos or hens? My guess: the BO is a roo and the rest are hens. Note that the BLRW has a funny growth on his/her wattle that he/she has had since birth. There are also a pile of gregarious buckeyes in here that got in the way of my photos -- ignore them.

looking all pullety to me

oops ok Ill have to agree with everyone else BO is a roo I studied teh pictures more and I see 1 long curled tail feather hanging down and the hackles didnt stick out as much as it did a few minutes ago...

I am by far not an expert but I would guess all pullets! My Buff Orp pullets looked just like that at that age!!

Buff Orpington is a boy !00%.Others are girls.You can see shiny feathers on Buff's back and wings

That blrw is looking boyish to me too.

That buff orp is a boy. He's got lots of pointy hackle feathers.
