Hen or Roo (Buff Orpington)

[cmclean]

My "girls" are about 3 months old. Can someone tell me if they are all hens?????? I am nervous that one of them may be a roo because "she" was chest bumping the others.
What do yall think? All hens or any roos in the mix??????
Thanks!!!

My BO looks like yours, but has a bigger comb. I have been told rooster, but I just dont know.

cmclean, I think your birds are all pullets. The only thing I see, in the middle pic, she second bird from the front MAY have saddle feathers starting, but it may also be the angle. Nothing screams rooster to me.

jakrat, I do think your bird is a cockeral, I think there's saddle and hackle feathers starting.

Your birds are really pretty!!! Thanks for the input. I guess the true test will be in who lays eggs!!!!!

I would say hens. Mine are all hens and they looked like that.

They look like hens to me......And the pics were so cute...Especially the one where they were in the flower pot!

I raise BOs and you have 4 very lovely girls. Roosters would have had bigger redder combs by now. Congrats.
