Rooster or hen?

[Jacobt]

My Orpington is about 5 weeks old. Have no idea if you can tell the gender yet. Would like to know if it's a rooster or hen. Thanks.

Hello there and welcome to BYC!

Looks like a pullet to me. Nothing is screaming roo so far. Keep an eye on the comb and legs. If the legs start turning into tree trunks and the comb grows to huge proportions fast, you might have a cockerel. But for now she is a she!!!

Welcome to our flock!

Hello and Welcome To BYC! Little young to tell yet, and orps often have late blooming roosters.

I agree!

Welcome to BYC. My gut says pullet, but it is young, and Kelsie is right about late blooming Orpington roosters.

Welcome to BYC! Your BO is too young for me to even hazard a guess yet at this point, but I hope for your sake, it turns out to be a hen. Good luck.

looks like a pullet - hope she stays that way

For the time being, I think it is a pullet.
