Rooster or hen???

[graeber]

My husband and I bought 6 buff orpingtons 4 months ago. We were told they were all hens but have since discovered that at least two are roosters. We have one that we just aren't sure yet. It doesn't have as distinctive a tail as the two roosters, but it has more of a comb than the hens. Also it does appear to be a bit large. We just don't know. If anyone can tell by the pics we would be interested to here what you think and how you can tell. Thanks.

The chicken on the right is a cockerel, and the one on the left is a pullet

The large comb, and the saddle feathers says cockerel 100%

We were afraid of that. Thanks.

Sorry but the Buff Orpington on the right looks like a cockerel.
