How about now? Gender

[vickichicki]

It's amazing how I can look at other peoples chickens and make a decision on whether it is a boy or girl.. yet comes to my own I am having a hard time... Go figure!
Denial maybe...

I have posted these pictures before with some uncertainty of the genders... Hoping the latest pictures might help. They are around 15 weeks old.

Thanking you all in advance

I am exactly the same way! I find it harder to sex my own birds! Maybe because I have more hope invested in mine. I am not an expert but I think all but #2 are pullets.

Number two and number four appear to be roo's from my opinion. They have much larger and darker combs than their counterparts.

Thanks for the help. Number two is a pain as there are an amazing lack of tail feathers. Might have to google more pictures of lavender orpingtons to confirm. I am pretty sure that 3 is a girl.. The 4 and 5 I expected to see more pronounced combs and waffles by now if they were boys. Number one has a tiny comb but it is still dark in colour.

What a pain
