I posted this in another forum but anxious to know. Buff Orp is bigger and darker. Always the first to come to me. I was cleaning out brooder with a toy shovel and it attacked it. I think roo but I am a newbie and have no idea. The lady I got them from says girl-another says boy. Help please!

Pic quality is awful sorry. I was actually very close when these pics were taken but they look further away.

Wattles are those red/pink fleshy flaps under their beaks, they grow along with the comb. "Waddle" is the walk.

thank you, studio, that was an excellent answer. i guess i didn't think about confusion from the terms.
