really...a lot of my hens have looked like that, and I have raised chickens for 5 years, so I'm thinking 2 hens. (the top two) and 1 roo. (the last one) I think...

Orpingtons are a pretty slow maturing breed, combs that big and red at 4.5 weeks are pretty much guaranteed to be cockerels. That's a bummer, but don't feel bad, I've done much worse! They are cute lil fellas!

Oh, you poor thing!

I know how you feel, I HAD 9 cockerels until a family member came and took the meanest one as a "pet."
