Rooster??

[conny]

This is my buff Orpington and we are going back and forth. Is he a rooster or a pullet? I appreciate your input!

how old is it?

 

[conny]

Oh, right. He/she is 8 weeks old

Yup he's a roo. How many hens do you have because if you are going to keep him you may need to get a few more?

 

[conny]

I have 4 chicken all in all. And unfortunately all roosters have to go. (Even though he is he sweetest of them all! And takes great care of his little flock!)

This one I'm not sure about either. Also 8 weeks old and had long wing feathers early. I need to get a better picture

Both are cockerels.

I think the second one is a hen. Try and post a better picture. Usually the roosters feathers grow in slower than the hens.

i hope this will do. Let me know if I need to take a closer picture . thank you all so much!!!

Looks like a cockerel to me but I would wait a few weeks before making any rash decisions. He should crow for the first time soon so that will be the final indicator.
