Hi everyone! I am new to the forum. I have followed on and off for a while and just decided to join. I have 5 blue Orpington chicks & would like an opinion on how many of pullets vs cockerels there are. This is my first time with Orpingtons and I do not have a clue how to sex them. In the pic below they are almost 5 weeks old (will be tomorrow or next day). They are just now getting into the gawky stage to me. They are suppose to be out of good stock but I am wondering because 2 of them appear to be very light grey and seem to be developing more slowly. As I said I do not know anything about Orpingtons other than I think they are beautiful birds. These are my first "quality" pure breed not hatchery or EE's. Thanks for taking the time to view my post. First pic is them at 1 week old.
