How soon did your Orp girls pink up and grow wattles?

I am not talking about red, but just grow enough for you to start thinking maybe they are boys? I have some that are at the 13 week mark and I thought I had more girls....

crud..It better not take 13 weeks to fnd out I just hatched out 10 of them-I knew the sex of my others when thet were 5 weeks old-got a picture?

I could tell easier when they were younger.

I should have marked them then.

I'm in the same boat... thought a blue orp was a girl, but at 11 weeks, there are suddenly wattles & her comb is turning pinkish, but not red like the boys of the same age.

Ok, that makes me feel better. I will just look for the OBVIOUS boys and figure the others are probably girls, or keep em until they crow.
