Can't tell if hen or roo?

[knpm]

Need some help distinguishing if one of my black/chocolate orpingtons, is a hen or roo. In the picture with the four orpingtons my questionable one is at the far right back.

How old?

Those aren't Black or Chocolate. Those are mixed breeds. And they are all pullets.

Looks like a girl. She's awfully cute. I think i need to add chocolate orpingtons to my flock next summer.

How old? Are they pure English Orpington and mixed colors?

They aren't black/chocolate orps. But they are all pullets.

Yes they are half chocolate and half black orpingtons; the lady I bought them from said the mama hen was chocolate and the papa hen was all black

You don't get mostly golden birds from a Black to Chocolate breeding. That pairing would only produce solid black offspring. You've got mixes.

In the pic with 4 chickens the one lying in front is very pretty.
