Stubby the 11 week old Buff Orpington

[TheStewarts]

This is "Stubby".

(S)he is a buff orpington and about 11/12 weeks old. My 2yr old named her stubby because she had no tail feathers for the longest time. Her/his comb and wattle are the most red out of all our BO but other than that physically (s)he seems the same as the others. Personaility wise (s)he is very out going and rooster like. Always comes to greet us... definitly at the top of the pecking order and (s)he has 2 other chickens by her/his side always. I *think* I just heard a crow but the coop is kinda far and it could have been a neighbors chicken. I will snap a couple better pictures in a little while.

Honestly I'd be happy if (s)he is a rooster because we do plan to raise from eggs and will want fertile eggs and want the majority of our flock to be BO so a BO rooster would be nice!

Do you have pics of stubby from the side, and standing on his/her own?

sorry been busy welcoming new sheep! Here is stubby from the side. Wish I could get a decent one with him next to another chicken. .. he's so much darker.

I'm thinking pullet also. Check out my avatar...this is our 4 week old Buff. The comb on ours is already bigger than your 11 week old. She looks very sweet
