[sophyluvssilkie]

I am about to get some orpingtons and we can only have hens in our neighbor hood. they are six weeks old. I was wondering if there was a way to tell roos from hens???

Yes, if they have largish combs and wattles (esp wattles!), they're cockerels. Also look at the tails. Stubby, square tails are usually boys. Good luck!
