Hopefully 1 Pullet out of 4

[BlueJack2005]

We have four Buff Orpington (?) chicks who are 10-weeks-old. Three are cockerels and hopefully one is a pullet. We would appreciate any help in determining if we do have a pullet and what breed (BO's, BO x's, etc.) they might be.

Picture 1 - suspected pullet's tail; Pictures 2 & 3 - cockerel's tails; Pictures 4, 5, & 6 - suspected pullet; Pictures 7, 8, & 9 - the three cockerels; Picture 10 - suspected pullet on left, cockerel on right; Picture 11 - suspected pullet on left, two cockerels on right.

Unfortunately, these are all cockerels. Now breed is interesting - I would say they are some form of Production Red or Production Red crosses; possibly with Red Ranger blood.

Thank you so much QueenMisha for graciously responding to my cry for help.

I was hoping that I had a pullet but was afraid that I didn't. These birds are huge compared to my other 10-wk-olds, they are as heavy as my one-year-old PR rooster but not as tall as he is yet, Red Ranger blood makes a lot of sense. They were labeled as BO's, so I'm not particularly thrilled with TSC. But that's another story.

Thank you again for your help!

Thanks drumstick diva, I'm going keep my favorite rooster and see how big he gets. But the good news is that I just ordered 6 Buff Orpington pullets!

I am beginning to think that TSC does not change their signs, but keeps throwing more chicks into the same bins.

Thanks Cel45, of the seventeen that I bought at TSC only ten were marked correctly. I won't be buying chicks from them again.
