PLEASE Sex Determination Needed on 6 Buff Orp Chicks - PICS

[BJ]

The chicks are 5-1/2 weeks old today. I ordered and paid for pullets and picked them up myself at the hatchery (but I DON'T THINK they are all pullets....). Please take a close look and give your best advice. THANKS SO MUCH!!

I don't have orps so I could certainly be wrong since I have nothing to compare to but... they all look like roos to me.

I sense you may want to call the hatchery and ask what their policy is on sexed birds, cause it looks like you have all boys at that age. Pullets will very little comb, with no color at 5 weeks. Unless they are some really fast maturing girls.

They Look like roos to me too.

they all look a like. the comb developement is the same so if one is a pullet then they all a pullets.

 

[EweSheep]

They all look like roos to me at five to six weeks old.
