Pink Comb on Buff Orpingtons

[gardenmama45]

Five week old Buff Orpingtons are showing some pink on their beaks. Am I to expect crowing? Didn’t know when they started developing combs? They were vent sexed by the hatchery but I don’t know how reliable that is. I’m just so worried I ended up with all roosters.

That's a normal amount of pink for pulleys of their age.

Those look like pullets to me.

What did they end up being?

What did they end up being?

They all still mostly look the same and there hasn’t been any crowing yet. They are 10 weeks now.

Here’s an updated photo on one of my Buffs. Still not entirely sure? I can’t find any pointy or “waterfall” type feathers like I’ve seen in photos online? But she’s darker than the other one just slightly. And I wasn’t sure about the feathers wrapping around the tail? Thoughts? 17.5 weeks no eggs or crowing yet.

Pullets, still!
