Is one of my Buff Orpingtons a rooster????

They are both pullets. One is just maturing a little more rapidly than the other.

Both are pullets.

Both are hens. They have the wrong hackle and saddle feathers for a rooster.

How many posts do we need before we can post pics?

Ok, I am going to go back on what I told you. Very well could be getting closer to POL - because by 16 weeks, saddle feathers on a cockerel would be well developed and starting to stream down his sides. So I am going to say SHE

until you say you heard a crow - and that should have started already also. (should cause some are just late bloomers)

I hope so, I was getting really concerned when the questionable one is so much smaller but developing the comb and wattles so much faster than the larger one.
Fingers and toes crossed that she stays a she ans I can keep her.

Thanks everyone for your input, I am feeling more confident they are both girls after reading everyones posts.

Wow, I didn't know that. That stinks big time!!

As and administrator of a forum who had to deal with the brain bleach required after one of these creeps posted porn pictures to our site, you better believe it doesn't stinks as bad as the alternative!

And to stay on topic, I call two hens as well.

I agree that it's a good way to deal with the problem, I meant that it stinks that people came on to just to spam it! A chicken website, of all sites!

I hope they're hens too! It's so sad that so many roos have to be re-homed or culled.
