My vote is that the second one is a pullet. That's not a cockerel eye or expression, and look at her legs! Pretty babies!Here are my newest Orps, I think the general consensus was all Roos. But I'm feeling like the one black looks more Pullet to me now, what do you all think? And, the blue has no fuzz on his butt, what is up with that?
ETA: They are 5 1/2 weeks.
Thank you so much for answering my question...I have some pullets right now, there heads are so dark they almost look blue in the head area but it goes away slowly got a hen that was that way last year & now she is just as red headed as the rest, & far as breeding the dark birds, it all so depends on what color the rooster is you are breeding to her, a splash roo. would be a good choice to breed to a dark hen, alot of my pullets came dark this year but are getting lighter as they get older & the lacing is just beautiful, I will try to get some pic. of my young ones on here soon, got 24 eggs in the bator now, Like I relay need more but just could not stand to see them go to waste & its way to hot to ship eggs now, its hit 103 here last week. but i will have quite a few young roo. to part with soon only keeping 2 to breed with & Elvis ain't going any where.
I have some young SUPER Blue Roos that have this darkness on the comb... They are very very nice and didn't want to cull them if there was a chance this could correct. It would be a crying shame.
Ok I managed to snag a few pics of my Buffs and Juls today... Lots of cloud cover soo colors are not as vibrant as they actually are in real life.
