Have I defied all odds? A Buff Orpington Mathematical Anomaly?

[idahomama]

Statistically speaking, my 7 balls of fuzz should not all grow up to be roosters BUT, I think I have defied the odds. If I'm right, I'm definitely going to start playing the lottery

Opinions please! These suspects are about 6-7 weeks old. All have attitude and none wanted their picture taken which again leads me to believe they are male.

Round 1: Suspects A & B

Round 2: Suspects C & D

Round 3: suspects E & F

Round 4: Suspect G

SOUP TIME!!

I see a chicken fry in your future. Supsect b is the only one I'm even doubting a little. The others well, they're going to be nice alarm clocks soon.

I'm thinking you have 2 pullets there.... but you are right, the rest are roos!

 

[amysue2012]

I know your pain last year we got 14 strait run Buff Orph and 13 of the 14 were all roos.

 

[idahomama]

mahonri - which ones do you think are possible pullets?

 

[Chickndaddy]

Compared to the others A and B might be pullets. More B than A, but time will tell.

 

[silkiechicken]

It's ok. I hatched from eggs, 7/8 roosters.... roo happens.

I don't know, compared to D everyone else's wattles and comb look much smaller. I wouldn't scratch them all off as of yet. My one BO pullet started getting pink at 5 weeks, and developed slightly, but hasn't gotten much bigger. My BA's put me through torture last year trying to figure it out. One of their combs and wattles seemed Really large for a hen. So, give it a little more time. 'A' and 'B' seem to be good candidates for being pullets. Don't you think most of them would be closer looking to 'D' if they were All roos? That's my guess.

Here is my buff Orp pullet at about the same age.

Looks like you have roos.

ETA: Mine looks younger, actually. But I still think you're right about the roos.
