    We were given some buff orphington Roos but we are beginning to suspect that one if them may be a hen. Your thoughts? Is it pink or blue?

    A picture might help, but I see you only have one post so probably cannot attach a photo. If you click the icon at the top of the screen with the mountains and sun on it, it will take you to an input screen for uploading pictures, however, I believe you must have a certain number of posts before you can do pictures, a spam guard of sorts.


    Psst, Orpington doesn't have an "h" in it. Common mistake, though.

    Ok thanks! I had tried to put a pic and thought maybe I just didn't see it.

    Hang around and chat with us on some other threads and you'll have enough posts to put up your pictures before you know it. Welcome to BYC!

    Here's a pic of my "girl!" My son has named her Shimmy because we aren't sure if he's a she, lol! "She's" about 16 weeks old.

    At that age, it's a pullet. There are no pointy saddle feathers on her, a sure sign of a cockerel.
