Is this a rooster?

[4 ever Orpington]

Oh wow! Now that’s a rooster, @4 ever Orpington! I can see just from your picture the huge differences. Mines definitely a hen then.

Thanks everyone!!!

I would agree. This is him now at nine months.

City ordinance here doesn’t allow backyard roosters so I don’t know what I would’ve done with it. I’ll happy to have another egg layer !

This picture with me shows his size well.

Holy moly! He looks so healthy! I can see the difference in the tail feathers for roosters vs hens.

Well I guess I have 4 hens then. Hehe!

Thank you very much for the help!

You’re most welcome. I have three Orpington hens as well.

They’re so fluffy! I was thinking mine are almost fully grown, but it seems they have a bit to go still.

How often do they lay eggs?

They’re so fluffy! I was thinking mine are almost fully grown, but it seems they have a bit to go still. They average six to seven eggs per week. I feed them Purina Layena Pellet. My girls are nine months and still growing
