English Orpingtons

[laura29532]

I just started raising Orpingtons again.
need some help as to what this one is, rooster or hen
1st pic is 4 weeks old 2 nd pic is today 8 weeks old on the 21st of Nov.
this does not show her big tuffy tail feathers.
she is the most beautiful Orpington yet.!

So far I think pullet because of the smaller, pale comb. But English Orpingtons can be late bloomers, so I would keep an eye on it for a while longer.

thats what I was thinking. I have white, buff and black and those roosters are easy to see their combs are so much more pronounced.
I have 4 Black English hens that are 7 months old and they look the same as this Mottled. fingers crossed, shes very pretty and going to be quite the looker. I have a Mottled Brahma hen that I am hoping the colors are about the same.
