They're hard to sex until a little older and even then can be foolers. In general the crest will slope forward in the pullets and split in the cockerels. Lower right I would guess cockerel. Can't see crests well enough on the others. Cute pics! They're great birds.Been busy, but thought I'd drop in to show off my funny, little 80s hair band. I sold one today, so I'm down to 5. Still I have no way of knowing the sex. All have black "spitz" but since I hatched them, I highly doubt all are female. I should be able to see some pink comb or wattles, but so far, none. If anyone has advice on how to sex this breed (aside from crowing vs eggs), please let me know. They're 4 weeks old.
The yellow with the light stripe on the back is simialr to what I remember the sweetgrass poults looking like, at least the light phase version. But it could be Blue Palm also.
I haven't separated the varieties, so a mix is the biggest possibility. My dominant tom is a Bronze. I also have two Blue Palm toms. Females are sweetgrass or blue palm. I think I had a midget white female then also that ended up going to you.@racinchickins you're going to need to remind me of what the possibilities I have with the poults breeds!?!!
That is not un common in the buff Orpingtons. I always called it peppering.
