Might I have a roo? *UPDATED PICS*

[imaleomom]

Grr, we are in a place that would not welcome a rooster. I have two buff orps that were supposed to be girls, but one has a super pink comb. Opinions welcomed.

Ok, I keep getting an error message for the upload. I'll try later with more pics.

and more of Frankie

You didn't mention the age, I'm guessing 5 to 6 weeks old?
Yes, looks like he could be a roo.

Hmm. Its hard to see. Can you post a larger version of the second pic? It seems that he or she is at the age where both sexes get pink combs. Truthfully though, I don't see roo. But I'm no expert by any means.

(Be a hen!)

 

[imaleomom]

Updated pics. The little one is just over 5 weeks now. More guesses?

Uh oh, see my former BO, about 7 weeks here

well, HE turned into this...

and started crowing at about this age too.

I'm sorry...I'll be be bearer of bad news...looks like a cockerel to me.

 

[imaleomom]

Yeah, I guess we *knew* but I appreciate you guys chiming in.

Now, we'll have to find Frankie a really nice home. He really is a cool guy, we hate to see him go.

Now we'll be waiting to see if any of the other girls will turn out to be boys as well. Patience is not one of my virtues!

I have the same problem.
I buy female chicks and it end up being roosters.
Luckely I can keep my roosters

sorry; I hope you find a very good forever home for your pretty boy.
