Not a Buff Orp???

Breed help? We thought she was a Buff Orp, but she looks so rooster-ish and definitely isn’t a roo!

Buff orp or a golden hybrid. Hard to tell with the lighting. Why do you think it's not a cockerel? How old is it?

I added two more "daytime" pics, but I know they're not great either!

She's at least six months old and all of her hatch mates have already been identified as roosters in the prior weeks and months. I have her separated to see if she lays, but that tail looks soooooo floofy.

He’s 100% a cockerel, sorry. You can clearly see male saddle feathers in the first photo.

I knoooooow! We haven't heard a single crow from him... But those saddle feathers and that cape! We are actually thinning our flock and rehoming some to friends, but when we went to move her over, she really stood out to me as possibly not a hen!

Definitely a cockerel, crowing isn't necessarily a gender indicator.
