Male or female?

Chicken Little is a 20 week old buff Orpington.. Thoughts?

Not a pro but I'm thinking rooster, my 23 week old hens don't have any red combs yet and feathers and body shape are looking like roosters

I'm thinking its a cockerel. Our one year old BO hens don't even have that much red or nearly that large of a comb. I'm also seeing some curvy tail feathers....Keep us updated though!

I have trouble sexing Orpingtons, but I'm guessing cockerel. The body shape and plumage doesn't look like that of a hen.

agree does not look anything like a female body for a buff orpington

I think cockerel too. My 16 week old girls body shapes are a lot more rounded and feathered out. But Orpingtons can be tricky so don't do anything drastic just in case.

Cockerel. Male saddle feathers on the back.

These are my 23 week old hens

Yours looks nothing like my hens so I'm pretty sure it's a cockerel by the body and appearance

Cockerel. The profile shot shows saddle feathers, and the leggy, unfiniished look of a young male.
