my buff orphington chicks

[SILKIEOBESSESED]

I got them from a local feed store and they are supposed to be girls. Is there any way to tell besides vent sexing??

No, you'll just have to wait until they are old enough to tell by looking at them.

It would help if you posted pictures. It's impossible for us to guess without that. We can say what you want to hear but it won't be very helpful. Also you asked your first question 30 mins ago and your next 15 mins later. It sometimes takes a little bit to get replies. I'm not trying to be rude as I know how hard it is to wait for an answer.

This is the best picture I have, I'll try to get better ones.
The one has a band of dark coloring dappled across her wing, does that mean anything?

Its too young to tell, though none look like obvious roosters yet. I'd post some new photos in a few weeks.

How old are your Orpingtons? Duffys comb seems to be coming in really good, but I don't know age.

Umm about 4-5 weeks I think? All of their combs are like Duffys but Duffy is the runt.
