13 wk olds english orpington sexing game!

[Loveak9]

hello ya'all!
I have 4 english orpington pullets/cockerel to sex. I think I know the results, but this is the first set of hatchlings I have tried. They all had been leap day babies! So they are about 13 wks.

Breakdown of birds in pics.
A= Chocolate laced english orpington.
B & C = Partridge english orpington.
D = Buff splash english orpington.

I would like keep your opinion of what I have. I will comment later on what my guess is.

B, and C are cockeral. A, and D are pullets.

B, and C are cockeral. A, and D are pullets.

That was my thoughts too! They are just too pretty!

Well b found his voice ( sad version of a crow) this am. Off to a home or freezer camp. Someday we will move in to the country.

Only pullet is D

Only pullet is D

Gosh, I hope not.... but it does have rather large legs. B &C just found their voice....so A might not be to far behind. That was a bad roo/pullet ratio for this batch

I'm seeing pointed saddle feathers. That is too bad

I agree that D and maybe A appear to be the only girls. Definitely unfortunate but it does happen sometimes!! My first hatch ever I had 8 boys out of 9 chicks

But at least I got a nice Lavender Orpington cockerel out of it

And a nice little Welsummer pullet.

Anyway, that white one might be your only girl but I’d watch the others to be sure.

What did they end up being?
