These little guys are 7 weeks old today. Two straight buff orpingtons and two cross breed barred rock+BO.

I’m fairly certain I have one male and one female buff Orpington, but the barred rock mixes are still uncertain. The darker one is much larger then the rest and has a very developed comb. I’m hoping the whiter one is a female because “she’s” so pretty! If you have any input let me know!

Both barred rock mixes are males. Was the mother the barred rock?

You are right about the buff orphingtons, if the barred rock is the mother for the 2 others, they are a sexlink cross and any chick resulting from the cross with barring would be a male.

Yes, the mother was the barred rock, father buff Orpington. Darn! I lucked out with 3 Roos! 🙃
