Silver laced Orpington 3 months sex

[Barn6566]

Do you see any roosters? 3 months old silver laced orpingtings. Red combs, light combs, big birds, leg width, one slow feathering no clue ?????

I’m not versed on this breed specifically but with the group photo I would say you have one, potentially two cockerels.

At that age any that show comb growth with redness are probably males. These ones all look like boys to me. @ColtHandorf

Where are you located? They could come live at my house. I'm desperately in need of some SLO males.

Just so you know, orpingtons are incredibly hard to sex until they are like 20 weeks old (in my experience with ONLY having hens) I asked about 6 isabel orpingtons I hat hatched at 15 weeks and literally everyone told me 4 roosters and 2 pullets. They're now 25 weeks old and every single one of them is a hen. It would be more efficient to wait until they start to crow.

This isn't my thread? You're mistaken. I was replying to the original poster about how hard orpingtons hard to sex. I'm not the OP
