Is my 10 wk old Buff Orpington a hen or a roo?

Yup, definitely a boy. I love the expression on the EE's face in the last one.

I think they were all trying to figure out if my camera was something to eat or something to be feared. You never know what this big, food providing creature might bring. lol...

Hopefully I can find a good home for my little BO boy.

I have 3 adult BR roosters (as seen in the background of one of the photos) and I don't think they will like him. Oh well... he can stay with my girls until they are grown and it's time to mix them with the big boys.

Btw, do you think the big roosters will hurt my little silkie girls (if they turn out to be girls) since there is such a size difference? Will I need to keep the silkies separated from the standards forever?
