This is a Buff Orp cockerel at 8 weeks.

I have 4 Millie Fluer D’uccles pullets who have a brother. His comb and waddles were a bright bright red at 6 weeks! It’s crazy how fast they grow!
Is that your cockerel? He’s beautiful!

Not mine fortunately (can't have a rooster where I'm at) I just pulled this pic off the Net as an example.

Here was mine at 8 weeks. Turned out a pullet, and she was the first one to lay

She is so pretty! I love Buff Orpingtons! I was so heartbroken when my only Buff Orpington Morticia (the theme was Addams family) was killed by a fox or owl or something. ;(

So do waddles matter as far as determining sex? Just curious because some 4week Orpingtons have tiny ones and some don’t.
