I have 4 Buff Orphinton Hens and I think one might be rooster, how and when can I tell.

I would be suspicious. Not positive, just suspicious! My BO hens always have a very small, very colorless comb until they are getting ready to lay. That seems like a lot of pink for a pullet of that age to have already.

alrighty, well def not one of my pics I'll be uploading to SM,

but here's a good shot of the roo on the left with pullets on the right

Thank you for the pictures. I can see what you mean with the comb difference, plus the bit under the chin (not sure what its called) ..They are all so cute! Thanks again for sharing!
