I have just added a pic of my 3 new chicks. I need help in identifying if they are male or female. If anyone can tell from the pic please let me know. It is in my pics titled "Our Birds" and it is the Buff Orpington pic.
 
Just added close ups of my 3 Buffs.....hope that will help someone to tell me if they are pullets or roo's.
 
Age is very important to know when trying to guess...I am assuming about 6 weeks?

If so, they all look to be pullets at this point. Watch the middle one. That comb is noticeably bigger than the others, however it is still very yellow. Buff Orpington girls can be precocious and get their comb big earlier, but it won't redden until point of lay...mine came in at 16 weeks to lay with big red combs...I thought they were going to be late developing roosters and then voila, they laid.
