Hen or Roo???

[ShellBelle]

I have 2 Buff Orpingtons... They are the same age but this one has a much larger comb... Otherwise their body shapes are the same. Is she a "she"??? I sure hope so.

how old

I'd be inclined to keep an eye on the feathers rather than the comb to be honest - I have just reared 2 BO pullets and they were so different to each other. One had a large comb and the other had a tiny comb but had a very red face generally from about 10 weeks - they also grew and feathered up in totally different ways, so it was impossible to tell the gender until about 17 weeks and no saddle or hackle feathers appeared - just nice fluffy rounded girly butts! What age are yours? From the pics, yours looks to have no more indication of being a cockerel than my girls did at that stage

I do not see any reason she/he would not be a hen can I see a pic of one of her brothers or sisters

I think they are around 11weeks old.

at 11 weeks i lean more towards a cockerel...now repost when they get about 20 weeks they may have started crowing by then as well

With combs and wattles that red at 11 weeks, I'm going to go with roos too. But BOs can be tricky!
