Orpington Sexing Issues

[ladyhand]

My hen hatched her first clutch about 6 weeks ago. Some days I swear a couple are female and a few are male. Then, other days I swear they’re all males.

I’ve spent an inordinate amount of time stalking other boards trying to compare mine to others. Unfortunately, most of the time there’s no follow up for confirmation.

I know it’s early, but do I have three cockerels and one pullet? The buff has had the most beautiful and biggest tail of all (I’ve posted two pictures of he:she).

My guess is buff and lavender 2 are pullets and the other 2 are cockerels?

All Roos here is a lavender Orpington cockerel and a buff lavender mix Orpington cockerel

They basically no wattles or combs in the hens so it’s easy to sex them
