Orpington 16 weeks...hens?

[proo]

I came curious about gender and have now learned o have an Orpington/Ameuracana cross! You can see her lil cheeks in the front facing picture. Maybe I'll get some pretty eggs

At 16 weeks they both look like pullets, although the pictures aren't the greatest. A comb shot and side shot of the birds in a natural stance with good light would be better! Orpingtons should have a single comb so the curious one facing the camera is of mixed heritage. Three rows of peas do not necessarily mean it is a male, especially in a 16 week old bird. Here is a pic of my 4 month old easter egger leghorn cross. She developed 3 rows of peas on her comb by 12 weeks and laid her first egg at 19 weeks.

Thank you! This gives me hope
