Is my Buff O a he or she?

[txchick06]

We have been told both! She doesn't seem as light as other BO hens, but the comb and beard are way smaller than the two buff o roosters we have that are the same age. Help! (And yes she gets to go to work sometimes

That really looks like a rooster to me. What age?

 

[txchick06]

5 months, that's what I'm thinking too but they have me worried!

 

[allosaurusrock]

He has to be a rooster, sorry. He looks like he's developing saddle feathers.

 

[txchick06]

Is it worth it to wait and see or by this age I should know right? U think rooster with just tiny beard?

 

[allosaurusrock]

Has she/he laid any eggs/crowed?

Looks like a slower developing cockerel.

 

[oldhenlikesdogs]

I agree, that's a rooster.
