Small, pale combs; even and uniform shade of buff; and broad, rounded back feathers all indicate pullets.I have four Buff Orpingtons. I will try to post a picture of each one....Hen or Cockerel?
They are almost 12 1/2 weeks old. I am having a hard time telling by their hackles or saddle feathers with the uniform color.
Either one of those 'new' Asian Blacks or just a random mixed breed.Does anyone have an idea what breed this Rooster is? He was sold to me as a black sexlink, but he is not as he did not have the white spot on his head indicating cockerel.
Stop worrying about one or two wonky tail feathers. Those feathers are just about to molt out, is all. As the base of the feather is pushed out, the feather starts to sag or look more curved. If you look at her tail area, you can see that most of her tail feathers have already fallen out.
I have what I can only assume are red sex links from TSC and one of them has different tail feathers than the rest. That said her comb is smaller than her sisters' but the pointy tail has me concerned so I thought I'd ask all of you. I think they're around 4.5 months old.
