My two Buff Orpingtons-same age and such a difference in their faces!

Big Buffy is a pullet

Pullet. My BO pullet looks just like her! She is also more skittish than the others and I worried she was a roo, but she started squatting this week and I'm hoping for an egg soon

Girl! She'll give you an egg soon! Start checking around the run, maybe put some golf balls in the nesting boxes.

I say pullet, mine had even bigger and brighter comb and waddles at 16 weeks. She gave me her first egg at 18 weeks. I tend to take the wait and see approach. I had a lot of people say mine looked like a cockerel and some others say pullet. I decided to wait until I got an egg or she really started to act like a he. I am glad I waited.
 
Thanks everyone! I think Big Buffy did lay an egg yesterday and today-my son fried-up yesterdays egg and even though it was small-it had a double yoke-he said it was delicious!

It was a rounder shape and didn't have any little speckles, like the eggs Fawkes-my Golden Comet is laying. Now if those seven other ladies would just get busy!

Big Buffy's double yoke and Fawkes's single cooking up in the pan! A good sight to see after all this work.
 
Oh, I'm so happy for you. I ended up with a roo out of our first batch of four and it was REALLY tough to give him away. So I'm so happy yours ended up being a girl.
