Orpington Sexing Tips?

[PrettyGirlAvett]

I have the age old question: pullet or roo? These two 11 w.o. Buff Orpingtons are inseparable. Hopeful they are pullets. Experts, what do you think?

Pullets.

They both look like pullets and also look like they may not be full BO's. Are their legs green?

No, their legs are somewhere between pink and beige/yellow (or bone) if that makes sense. Almost a lighter version from their feathers.

So happy to hear pullets because I've had so many roosters since I started keeping chickens this year. Good thing I found new homes for the Roos because I live in a No Rooster Zone.

Thanks for your help. Don't mind if they are a mix, but farmer only had two types of birds RIR and BO. Could they be a mix of RIR and a BO?

They look 100% BO, and pullets!

Thank you. The NPIP farmer said he had 100% accuracy last year sexing his BO so I was hopeful he got it right this year too. But it's good to hear what BYC folks have to say.

They are so sweet, friendly and cute, just love having them in our flock. They keep us laughing and smiling.
