Four young buffs

[Jess718]

So I got four chicks from the local farm supply that said they were female Buff Orpingtons, but I’ve also read that the sexing isn’t 100%. Should I just trust they are hens?

All four are super sweet. Two seem to be a little more outgoing than the others. I’ve seen a lot about how it is too difficult to tell at 4ish weeks male/female, but I’ve also seen many people who are used to looking at certain characteristics and making good guesses. I am hoping they are all females because I’m already so attached. I tried to get several pics of each girl. I hope I uploaded them correctly.

At this point, none are screaming 'cockerel', but realistically it is too early.

Thanks! I know it’s early for any guesses but it’s kind of fun looking and comparing so I thought it didn’t hurt to ask!

Welcome! None look like cockerels at the moment, but it’s easier to tell at 6-8 weeks.

Agreed
