Ladies or Gentlemen?

[BlueCamas]

I have a pair of Orpingtons that are between 5 to 6 weeks old and I don't know what they are yet.
The Splash: It is feathering a lot slower compared to the blue and has always made a really loud chirp, scratch that it never chirps, it shrieks! It has gone from a seagulls voice to a hawks and I think it's a boy.

The Blue: It is bigger than the splash and feathered out way faster and is almost done. I'm hoping it's a girl. No loud weird sounds from this one yet

These pictures are from about a week ago,
so what do you guys think?

im kinda leaning towards roo for the first one...looks like wattles are already starting to come in...then again, the second bird also has a hint of wattles, though maybe less so. Do you have a more recent pic?

I'm going to say the splash is a roo and the blue is a pullet but I could be wrong. I dont know much about telling gender with any breed when they are that young

I bet the splash is a roo and the blue is a pullet. You cannot use leg thickness as an indicator, both cockerels and pullets will have thick legs. Orps can be tricky, but by 8 weeks you should know for sure.

My slowest feathering Orpington I thought was a male for a long time. She turned into a beautiful pullet.

I'm not sure, i think they are both girls. I have a little young cochin girl that dose the same thing as your splash. She has the voice of a hawk so we named her Hawk.

I think they're both girls

I really hope so, it got 5 chicks at the swap and it looks like my 3 d'uccles are girls If these 2 are girls then I'm really lucky!!!
