Buff Orpington 5 weeks-pretty sure one roo maybe three

The two in the front look like cockerels.

I have 7-8 week old Orpingtons from a breeder. At 4 weeks, she said she was sure the buff/cuckoo one was a girl, but now I'm not so sure. "She" was the first to feather out and she has the longest tail, but her comb/wattles have me nervous. Thoughts?



Older pic of "her":

it looks like a cockerel.

I have 6 chicks and 2 of them are Bantams, I'm pretty sure my other Bantam is a Gold Laced Cochin and I'm not sure about the other one (pics posted below). I'm starting to worry that she might be a HE. I think she/he is a game bird of some kind. They're both 4 weeks old. It may be too young to really tell but any thoughts on breed and sex? TIA

I'm leaning towards cockerel but it is to young to say for sure, I also think it is mix.

Thanks for the welcome! I'm a little sad because he/she is my favorite. Another dude was crowing this morning, so he made it easy on me.

Sorry, I know how disappointing it is to find out your pullet is a cockerel .

Here are my five straight run Buff Orpingtons (although they seem dark but that's another thread). They are 11 weeks old. My Legbar rooster the same age has huge wattles, is crowing and clearly make but I don't see any of that on these. Could I have all pullets?

Your "Buff Orpingtons" are actually Red sex-links, they are all pullets though.

looks like golden sex links. If they're golden/red looking, they are pullets. Any that are almost solid white with light gold would be cockerels, but all I see are pullets.
