Rooster or Hen

[TomRussell]

Hi I have a flock of 10 Blue & Buff Orpington.

One of the Buffs is significantly larger and has more pronounced comb & wattle than the other hens. I’m pretty sure that it’s a rooster. However, a friend, who has raised far more chickens than I insists that it’s a hen.

I’d debate it more with her but she only speaks Spanish and we can barely communicate. I tell her she’s loco. She smiles, shakes her head and says. “Gallina!”

I’m hoping maybe someone on this group can referee!

The first picture is a pullet. The second is a cockerel.

The one on the right is 100% a cockerel, and the other bird on the left in a pullet.
