Looking for some help determining gender!

so is it unanimous that the first is a cockrel? I am not allowed to have cockrels so I need to think of alternatives if she's indeed a he.

All are girls.

Buff Orp boys would be VERY easy to spot at 20+ weeks old. Trust me.. They are all girls.

If they are not laying now, they will be soon. I've had sisters start months apart. I have one that started a month ago, and her sister just started, while the other is not even close

This is a boy.. Not even close. Look at the wattle size difference? My boys all have combs bigger at 16 weeks compared to your girls.

I have to agree, also a 20 week old roo would be mounting everything in sight, LOL! Unless of course you had another dominate Roo, however, it does not appear that you do. My Roos starting dancing for the ladies at 12 weeks

So congrats, it's a girl x4.

PERFECT! I thought my lil ones wattle should be bigger! I was getting upset even thinking about having to give one up. I never thought I would get so attached! Thank you thank you thank you.

Yes I know full well how attached you can get!! Even with over 100 birds, I have a pet flock that is named and extremely loved! You definitely have all girls

Yep, I had to get rid of 2 roos today, I was so sad. I bought them as pullets, for my mixed "laying flock" but out of 5, 2 were roos. My kids and myself were pretty upset. I actually can have Roos, but I already have 6 breeding roos. I am so happy you don't have to get rid of any

No crowing yet? Mine crowed at 12 weeks. Now hes 17 weeks and his saddle feathers are coming in very narrow. The middle 2 are girls because they have rounded feathers. The other 2, I'm not sure... Then again, I have more cockriels than any one woman shold have. Lots of stew and dumplings for me...

At 20 weeks, they are definitely all girls and pretty ones, too
