Hi,

Maybe hen below?

Maybe roo below?

Those are both pullets. They're at the age where combs will start getting larger and redder as they reach sexual maturity. If they were roosters, they'd already have larger, redder combs and sex feathers.

Girl...girl...looking good.

That is good to hear. The only reason I thought one might be a roo is because he often runs up to you before the girl and they developed so differently. One had long wings from day 1 and had a larger fluffier feathers. They are only now looking alike. Here is a photo of them together, they are inseparable

Both are pullets.

Hi everyone,

Here are some photos of my chickens now at 19 weeks, still not 100% sure that both are pullets. The one in question is on the left with the green shades in the feathers.

Wattles are still small as are combs for this age, and I have been told they are orpingtons.

Any suggestions on what people think would be grateful.

Thanks

I would have to say you have yourself a pair there

A pair of hens or roos?

A pair consists of one male and one female. Not 2 of 1
