Help with Buff Orps

[ihavechicks]

I am new to chickens & would appreciate some help with the gender of these chicks. They are between 5 1/2 - 6 weeks old. Thanks for the help.

My 10 BOs are about 9 weeks old. I am not sure, but if it were me, I would be thinking there was a good chance of them being cockerels.

My pullets had very pale combs at that age. My rooster had that growing red comb on top. But after seeing so many pix of chickens, I am realizing that roosters can develop their looks at varying times, and hens are often almost written off as roosters.

My BO rooster is a sweetie. I carry him around like a football, much to his disappointment and embarrassment. But he never harms me.

It is early but I agree -they both look rooish

Both roos for sure. My BO girl is 7 1/2 weeks and still has practically not comb

I agree, there's way too much red to be pullets. 2 roos.
