Pullets or cockerels?

[dave705]

Hi all,

I've just started keeping chickens and have recently acquired 3 from a back yard breeder who says they are 4 to 5 month old Buff Orpington pullets. I'm looking for confirmation as I don't want a rooster to annoy the neighbors.

Are these photos clear enough? I can take more.

Two photos of the first two youngsters:

One photo of the third youngster:

I really wonder about the third which looks so different the first two, but will be happy to hear from those with more experience (i.e. everyone else here lol.)

Thanks in advance!
Dave

I see rounded feathers, so look female. Third pic just looks like an older one than the first two.

They are precisely what they were sold as.
Orpingtons are the best, in case there was any doubt.

They are sure nice birds. So gentle and curious. I love how they come running when I go out to open their door in the mornings, and the quiet little sleepy noises they make when I tuck them in at night.

They are all pullets. They're very cute!
(Cochins are better though, right Happy? )
