I know there's another thread on Orpingtons but I thought since you all have them maybe you could answer a question for me.

I did the NYE hatch and I would show pics of my babies but I didn't get my camera today so my question is, how long will it be before I can tell if I have pullets or cock's? I can see some already have larger combs then the other ones. With my RIR's it was forever before I could tell. Orpingtons I'm not sure. Thanks

HenThymes, your chickie looks chocolatey.

Very cute indeed!

Ginbart - I can typically tell on my orps between 4-8 weeks for sure. After that, uncertainty sets in again. Then around 14-16 weeks you can see the roo differences pretty clear again. I find these times are the best to make good guesses. Of course, there is always one or two who will keep you confused and guessing.

I was thinking chocolate, too! Good luck with your hatch!

Hi all,

I am looking for a Buff Orpington Roo in Orange County NY. I am willing to travel up to 100 miles for the right bird. Any body out there have a nice Buff Roo?

What do you guys use for frostbitten combs? Last night it got close to 0 here and now my buff boy's comb is all frostbitten.
