Sexing Buff Orpington’s

Hi,

I’m really struggling to sex these 2 buff Orpington’s. Could anyone help? 16 weeks this weekend.

thanks

Could be male based on potential saddle and hackle feathers. Can you take pics from the side, while they are standing. Make sure shadows are not present. Trying to see saddle feathers, but the camera angle, shadows and fencing are getting in the way.

I'm not completely sure.... but #1 might be a pullet and #2 a cockerel.

16 weeks? They might start laying in a couple weeks..... if they are girls.

Both are cockerels.

Thank you for all of your replies, I’ll try and get some more photos tomorrow. I imagined they would show more boy traits by now or at least be crowing. But equally I hear buff Orpington hens take longer to mature.
