Its possible it will shed all the yellow and go black on black but I do not think so. Sorry if I have alarmed you with no intent at all.
 
No worries at all im not worried what it is as long as its a hen

I'm not familiar with Jubilee Orpingtons - I have Lavender Orpingtons. I could guess by week 4 but could tell for sure at age 6 weeks who was the rooster and who were the hens. The hens still have light colored combs and wattles. The rooster's comb and wattle was very red.

At 4 weeks Francis, our rooster, started showing redder comb and wattles. He's the one on the left side.

Here they are at 6 weeks old - the one at the bottom of the ramp is our rooster.
