What gender is my Buff Orpington?

[snookie]

Boy or girl?

 

[KYTinpusher]

Boy. Those look like saddle feathers to me.

 

[Dewsetter]

Definitely boy without a shadow of a doubt. Hope that's what you wanted to hear.

 

[hdowden]

110% cockerel due to the saddle and hackle feathers they are long slender and pointed and cockerels ate the only ones that get saddles and hackles that shape not to mention his two toned coloring

 

[RainyChicks]

That is for sure a roo/cockerel.

 

[Happy Chooks]

Absolutely a cockerel. See the pointy saddle feathers at the base of the tail hanging down the sides of the body. Only males get those feathers.

 

[douglas08]

Definitely a roo.

 

[Mac14]

Are you keeping him?

 

[snookie]

I doubt it. We live in a neighborhood so he'll have to go when he crows, if not before. Anyone near Charleston, SC want him?

 

[ChickensAreSweet]

Roo, no doubt- nice lookin' boy
