Pullet or roo? Buff Orpingtons and Rhode Island Reds.

[Wlaubernds]

Hello,
I got four chicks in March. They are now about five months old and I think at least one is a roo. Two are Buff Orpingtons and two are Rhode Island Reds. Attached are pictures of the flocks. Sorry they are not the best photos. Those chickens do not like to stay put. If I can focus on anything specifically in a photo, let me know.

Thank you!

All of those chickens are pullets.

Welcome to BYC!
I've had both those breeds, and at 5 months, I'd say they are all pullets, soon to lay.

Pullets. Lucky you!

All pullets!

 

[Wlaubernds]

You all are awesome! Thank you.

One of the buff's acts like a rooster, but, I think she is just top of the pecking order.

Having the chickens has been great. Fun raising them with the kids and looking forward to when they start laying.

Thanks again for the help. I am sure I'll have more questions as we go.

Cheers!

Yep she is probably top of the pecking order. The most aggressive ones always are.

All ladies! It's crazy how hens can even act like roos sometimes. A few weeks ago I heard my 4 year old hen try to crow!

All are pullets. what specific behavior are you seeing that you consider rooster behavior?
