Why does her/his comb look like it lays on its side

This is the one I thinks a rooster. She's quiet loves being held not aggressive towards the others and is the smallest one out of all five

I love that picture!

 

[emilyschartz]

Haha thanks. That's fluffy. He/she (is its a rooster or not) was exploring my camera when I was taking pictures. She has the best personality out of all five that I have

 

[epmchickens]

That's a boy for sure. I have an orpington roo named sun king who thinks he's a puppy too lol

I have one that I am pretty sure is a rooster, but after posting pictures here everyone tells me it's a hen. I'm still not convinced. But s/he has the best personality ever. I just love how silly they are and how they are each so different and goofy. Good luck figuring out what yours are. I'm no help since I"m sure my "hen" is a "roo".

 

[emilyschartz]

Thanks. Why is she so tiny though? She's the smallest chicken I have. Why does her/his comb lay on its side instead of sticking up? When we looked up pictures of hens and roosters that are her breed all the roosters Combs stand straight up

 

[epmchickens]

I guess it depends. Anyway it could be a buff leghorn? They're tiny with floppy combs

 

[emilyschartz]

Really? How long will it be before I can fully tell which it is? We have nosey neighbors and they will definitely report us if we have a rooster so i'm really worried.

 

[emilyschartz]

So I got these two together how do I know if they are buff leghorns or not? Meatball is the biggest one out of all five and fluffy the one who has the comb is the smallest

I take that back....orpington. my buff orpington has a floppy comb
