Orpington Cockerel and Pullet??

[MedSchlFarmers]

I will never do a straight run again. I got mine from a private owner, I felt the odds were a little better

Looking like I'll have 2 hens and a silkie (who knows with that one). Here comes the pictures....

OK, here is the same one that we think is a cockerel above

Brownie:





Here is Zaxby (when we bought him/her we though it was a White Orp, I'm thinking EE)





And lastly, Stripe

Looking at the combs, I would say all cockerels, all EE, zaxby looks to be more wheaten color. Those combs are pretty wide. If you start to see any pink within the next couple weeks, you know you will have a boy. Yes, better chances of pullets from breeder, but still it happens. I hatched out 22 chicks, 13 were male and 9 female. I am also waiting on my 3 silkies, 1 is acting very rooish the other 2 who knows.

Most silver chipmunk EE will be males. Your bottom chick is a good example.

Ah well! I'll give the EE a few more weeks. Stripe and Zaxby act like roosters.

Thanks for your help!

All boy....

 

[MedSchlFarmers]

kidcody, that's what I feared! Who will want that many roo EE

 

[MedSchlFarmers]

Would you agree the very first EE I posted after the Orps is a pullet? Did I atleast get one

Well ladies and gentlemen. Stripe most assuredly just crowed at me 3 times.

3.5 weeks!
