How can you tell if it's a roo or not?

I don't know for sure, I'm just thinking it's comb is bigger....I was hoping someone know...but it's too young to know i think

Cheryl,
the bigger comb lines I have, you MAYBE able to have a guess. From my limited experience you can't tell till their more then a month. And for the Akers Buffs even longer before you know for sure.

Cheryl, you'll have to wait until they are at least 6 weeks to make a correct guess on sex. Any earlier and it's very risky. You may accidentally give away a pullet that's just maturing quicker than the others. At 6 weeks it should be apparent by comb size, behavior and tail feather growth whether or not a chick is a boy or a girl.

I thought this was the Orp thread. Maybe you should start your own thread on the BUS, over in "Pictures and Stories of my Chickens."

I don't think that chick is 75% exhibition anything. It has such mixed parentage it's hardly an orp.

Time will tell. Last year I was told I would never get a chick that would be a solid color from a bird like BUS. I feel good about my ORPINGTON project. PLUS, my biggest fan is Doug. He likes the first Blue I shown. So I am into waiting and seeing. And I will show him. Folks like Matt Lhamon, ABA Vice President and judge will be to more accurately access this guys future in my yard. Luckily shows around here in Indy are just a few dollars to have an APA judge look and handle my birds. And Doug Akers is an APA judge, and he has already given me the thumbs up to proceed with my Orpington Project. I like Doug. He tells me the strait truth.
