Too or pullet?

[steven91]

Hi everyone. So, I bought those 2 buff Orpington as chicks from feed store supposed to be both pullet. Now, I am guessing one of them is a rooster. What do you think?

Thanks

How old, in weeks, are they?

Hard to say, I think a slow developing rooster

The darker one looks to be a Cockerel, comb is red (Pic 1, Pic 2 there one on the top, Pic 3 the upper right). Repost pic when they're about 18 - 20wks, Orpingtons are slow maturing but quite sure you got yourself a pair.

A clearer picture that showed color better would help. I'm on the fence on this one as it stands, because 14 weeks is not an unreasonable age for a pullet to start showing color in the comb and its comb isn't huge. On the other hand, Orpingtons are slow to develop sex characteristics. Males often don't show clear signs of being cockerels until much later. So while it could very well be male I would still give it a few more weeks to be sure.

A little young but I have a strong feeling you have a gorgeous rooster on your hands
