Willowbranch farm I agree with you "a rooster" he is servicing 3 hens on a regular basis

That's a rooster. Hens have nice round fluffy butt feathers and your pretty roo has the beginings of saddle feathers that are much more pointy and hang down the roos sides. My buff orpingtons in the past have been slow to develop.
