Lemon Cuckoo Orpington, what sex?

[AlisonDS]

Hopefully my last for today! This is Saffy, she's approximately 16-18 weeks. Twice now I've caught her humping another chicken. Just want to be sure ... She was the smallest kid I had. I have female dogs that'll "hump" given the chance so I wasn't sure if this was true in the chicken world as well. I really hope this is the case, I'm so attached to this little one! And I'm not sure I can take it after finding out my RIR's are all boys, hah.

Orps sometimes throw me for a loop but at this age I'd sure think there'd be a lot more roo characteristics. I'm saying pullet so far......can you get a profile shot?

 

[AlisonDS]

Surely

 

[AlisonDS]

Ack, not sure why it's sideways

with those pics i cant tell if the cockerel saddles and hackles are forming and as right now from what i can see that is a pullet

I'll try to get better pics. Is the "humping" unusual? She'll jump on Prudence's back and it looks like a humping thing. None of my RIR's have ever seemed to hump on anyone.
