Lavender and Black Orpingtons

[Heartlandrabbitry]

We have three 5 month old (give or take a few weeks) Orpingtons that we are hoping aren't roosters! Though they are looking like roosters to me

If they all are roosters then this will be 5 roosters we have already picked up out of 5 new chickens we just got...

They blacks are pretty roostery. The Lav looks like a pullet to me.

I am in the same boat but my Orpingtons are a bit younger. Your birds do look like roos becase of the longer feather on their backs. The hen like one looks younger to me as well. If you find out let me know. Thanks

Total side note but... they're beautiful!

Definitely not what I wanted to hear about my blacks but thanks so much everyone!

Maybe I can talk my mom into keeping them, since I love them so much but I have 4 rooster already

P.S - Yes the little d'Uccle rooster had to get in the picture
