Buff Orpington Rooster?

[LaurieJBC]

This is my first Buff Orpinton. I bought two other breeds at the same time. They have both started laying eggs. This one has just decided to become a really loud and bossy this week. Is she a he?

Any hints would be greatly appreciated.

Age?

by the stance and comb, believe it is a cockerel

Good question. This one is about five months old.

Well it does have large comb and wattles for age, but has a very feminine body. Also doesn't really seem to have saddle feathers and pointy tail feathers. I would say pullet, but it might take time to tell for sure.

Based on age and the big fluffy body, it's a pullet getting ready to lay. I see no male feathers at all. My avatar is my 5 month old BO cockerel and you can see a huge difference.

Pullet. Looks just like my girls and they just started laying light brown eggs. Keep an eye out for eggs!
