Here is my hen about the same age....... If it was a rooster I think it would have a much longer tail

Does it really

 

[emilyschartz]

Thank you! That picture makes me feel better about it not being a rooster

 

[epmchickens]

Yep

 

[emilyschartz]

Thank you! I appreciate the help. What's the difference between a buff rock and a buff Orpington?

 

[epmchickens]

Well.....I have a pair of buff orpingtons and 1 buff rock pullet around 4 months old. The orpingtons will be 6 months next month but the orpingtons seem to shine gold. The rock is a little dull compared to them. And, It could just be mine, but the orpingtons are very friendly and the rock has bitten me many times lol. I think my orpingtons are a little ggierleggier too....

 

[epmchickens]

*leggier....spelling? Ha.

 

[emilyschartz]

Oh ok that makes sense. The ones I have are really gold looking and shiny-ish. And really friendly.
