Is my Girl a ROO?

[chicagochick]

This is Buttercup, she is a 6 week old Buff Orpington, she looks much different then my other Buff Orpington hen... i.e. comb and waddle, body structure, longer tail feathers... she is the friendliest girl in the bunch. I wasn't looking for any roosters, do you think I could have gotten one by mistake. I sure hope not, we are all attached and love her!

He'll be a good protector for his harem!

I am going with 100% Rooster!

 

[Nicole01]

Yes, a boy. So sorry.

 

[Zchicks]

Yes, a rooster. The wattles come in earlier on a boy and a more developed, darker colored comb are sure signs.

He's a very handsome young roo

 

[chicagochick]

He is awesome, we still have him. no cock-a-doodle-doing yet so not a bother. will the hens be distraught if they have to loose their man?

 

[KatieCov]

Does this chick (Frances) look like a rooster? She is much bigger than the other one (Dolly), and I'm starting to wonder...

How old is Frances she looks like a pullet at the momeny
