I hope not but looks like they all could be roos. I can't tell for sure on the first picture. The splash is certainly a roo.

I'm thinking roos too. So if anyone in Michigan is looking for Orp roos...I've got em.

Thanks for your help...

 

[Maggie3]

anyone else?

They all look like boys to me too. How old are they? Not that it matters, because they all show roo saddle feathers, but I am curious of their age. Very pretty.

Thanks Jody...they are around 5 months old.

I would say all roosters.

 

[hinkjc]

Wow, at 5 mos I would have imagined bigger combs on those black ones. They seem so tiny compared to the body growth. The body growth and feathering says roo, but those combs don't. hmmm

I had some buff that kept me guessing till four months LOL. I just started to look at their backs to see saddle feathers. Saddle feathers never lie.

My calendar shows that these babies went in the bator in March so I don't know but with feed prices going up every time I go to buy it I need to get rid of the extra roos.
