Need Help from ORPINGTON owners

[Cheryl]

Well, this posting makes me feel a bit better! My five chicks are now 3 1/2 weeks old, 2 silver wyandottes, 1 gold wyandottes and 2 rir...but at the same time I'm still nervous! I too must have pullets, and I bought sexed birds!!! But one of the rir's has a larger comb on top, and a longer tail...the other a bit smaller, one wyandotte has the beginning of a comb on top, longer tail and the other two don't have anything!!! When will I figure this out, when they all starting crowing?!!!!

Cheryl - Can you take a pic of the ones in question? The one RIR does sound like a roo, but after looking at my pics of 4 week hens... hmmm i will just post a pic. give me a couple minutes.
You will also see it more at about 8 to 10 weeks.

Here are the pics

This is my RIR hens at 4 weeks

Here is a pic of one of my RIR Roos at 11 weeks

RIR hen at 11 weeks

If I could find one my roo that I knew at 4 weeks I would post it... but cant positively pick one out. The hens I am positive about because they were a 2nd batch of pullets only.
