WHITE ORPINGTON PULLET OR ROO Please help

Im not real familiar with the white orpingtons yet. I think i have 2 but mine have white legs and yours seems to be blue? Does that mean anything?

These are the blue and splash for comparison with the white one which is next to eachother. The blue and splash are around 16 weeks to the seller said the white is smaller as they grow at different rates but I think it is around 12 weeks

For now, I am sticking with pullet. It has a really female shape to it, and as I said earlier I can't see any feathering which would suggest otherwise. I'll be interested to see this bird in another couple of months.

It looks like a rooster.I strongly doubt that though.No pretty feathering,or wet looking feathers.,but that black roo looks like my Black sexlink hen.Has he begun crowing?

No he hasn't

I'm not sure. All three I purchased together have blue legs. The black 9 week rooster has black legs he was purchased from a different person.

The white one is a pullet 100%. But the black is really looking rooish

Wow, what a difference a little time makes!

As I said earlier, Orpingtons can be really difficult to sex at the best of times.

Your White chicken isn't a Orpington...
Wrong color legs, White Orpingtons have Pinkish White Legs not Slate.

What color is the bottoms of there feet? (both the Black and the White bird)
