Sexing 4 wk old Blue Orps?

[Skippin' Sammi]

I am new to chickens and can only have 4 LF hens. No roosters due to the noise. I am looking at 6, 4 wk old Blue Orp chicks but they are being sold as straight run. Some look larger than the others, so would it be a good *guess* that those are the roosters? Thanks in advance. I have been waiting and waiting for chicks.

not necessarly. I would look at the comb size and color. The larger, redder combs should be your roos. Good Luck!

Thank you! I will go check out the pic again. Not sure if I can see the combs very well though.
