Orpington 22 weeks

[Jgilb]

Purchased as a pullet chick. 22 weeks now- haven’t had eggs yet (but it’s my 1st year figuring out the super cold temps). I’ve seen other posts of surprise roos and she’s been acting quite dominant today and making more “noise” than usual. Is she a she??

Orpington are bossy in the flock to me.. more noise means she's getting closer to laying! She is definitely a she. Male pointy saddle feathers start showing around 12 weeks for most breeds and would look very similar to this at the stated age..
