I have a couple of 5-wk-old BO's and am curious to know whether they are hens or roos. If you could tell me not only what your opinion is, but what criteria you are using to get there, I'd appreciate it. I'd like to know more about how to sex them for the future. Thanks!

You'll know if they are roos when the comb and wattles start getting bigger & red. You can usually spot it by 5 weeks. I do have one enigma though. One of my buffs is 8 weeks and it's still a toss-up.

Wow, that is NOT what I was expecting but I'm very pleased. I can't have a rooster where I live so wanted them to be girls but was afraid one or both is a roo. I did tell the kids we may not know until they start to crow or lay eggs but its nice to know so many people think they are girls at this point. Thanks for the input!
