Oh oh cockerel

[Ponte]

My three Buff Orpington are 10 weeks.
One of the three I worry is a cockerel.
Am attaching a picture, hen or rooster in the making ?

New to gender guessing but I think you do have a cockeral. My BOs are the z same age and have very pale combs. On the basis of how red he is i would say cockerel. It would be interesting to see more of his feathering and tail. He's very cute!

Can't see the back half, thinking Cockerel but it's not screaming out at me.

Back half, hope it helps.

10 weeks? I still see a female. however does this one look different from your others? are this ones legs fatter than the others (although even hen buffs have fatter legs than my other breeds)

Looks to be a rooster. Generally they start to crow between 3-4 months with some doing it sooner and some later.

Feathering doesn't seem conclusive. I lean toward cockerel but don know.
