Sexing my almost-six-week-old Buff Orpington

[primatologica]

Hi again, still trying to figure out whether my mixed flock has any stealth cockerels! Any thoughts on whether Marigold is a roo or a pullet? She is an absolute cuddle bug, so I'm hoping she's a female! Many thanks!

What a cute chick ! I think it’s a pullet too... good luck with her

I've had a buff orp roo be a sneaky slow developer before, but yours looks very girly at this point.

Wonderful, thank so much! What are the clues you're using to come to that conclusion?

The small/pale comb and wattles led me to saying she's a pullet!
