Well the splash Orps are nearly 13 weeks old now and I will need to start thinking about new homes, although they are so lovely I want to keep them all.

 

Anyway can you all in your wisdom help me confirm if they are boys or girls as really Im guessing, I thinking two boys and 3 girls.Although they have been really difficult to get good pics of.

 

so pic overload coming up. I've put some legrings on so I can tell them apart.

 

Red - Girl?

 

 

Yellow - girl?

 

 

 

Blue- Boy? girl?

 

Green- boy?

 

 

Purple- Boy?

Oh goodness that's hard! Usually I'd have a good idea but I haven't a clue looking at those! They're all girls to me but as Orps are very slow to develop I'll probably be wrong. None of have in the way of head gear

[feemcg]

Gosh Ruth, they are beautiful. Some Orps are very slow to mature....I had a Buff that I thought was a girl till 24 weeks and didn't crow till 29!.....the ones you think are boys I think girls and vice versa ......but don't take my word for it for heaven's sake

 

Hope you're keeping well

[Egluntyne]

They are beauties.

[ruth1]

Cheers I'll just have to keep them a bit longer then until I can find out, they all look the same to me

[Patricia W]

just wait till they crow - that's the most reliable indicator - they are beautitul, whatever they are. Congratulations!

Just under 17 weeks now and the face furniture indicates one definite boy and one questionable which i am hoping is a girl, Im away to see if I can get some pics

[Cooks]

oh my they are to die for!

[Falkor]

Looking for homes you say!

[ruth1]

Well they weren't up for posing much tonight and they are filthy due to all the rain but heres what I got

 

face furniture now on display

 

 

The questionable one, but judging by the extreme difference to the guy above im guessing girl?

 

 

They werent interested in posing but Im sure these are all girls, except for boyo 2nd from left

 

 

what do you guy's think?

[Redwing]

Looking for homes you say!

 

Waaaaaaaaay ahead of you there Em, they are way up in the borders so even I had to draw the line there

[ruth1]

Yep Palmer I'll keep one and the rest need to go

[Redwing]

As you say one obvious boy but the others are certainly not so obvious

[Falkor]

hang on....I will see if I can find pics of my slash Orp to compare!

 

(cooks...I am still here as Jus is doing his hair! )

what a girl!

 

Em! Scotland isn't 'that' far!

[Falkor]

Pics of my Orps.... at 16 - 20 weeks

 

 

 

 

 

 

They are eightish months now....Gin the Splash has comb and wattles but OSH the jubilee still hasn`t got anything major going on in the face furniture department but Jubilees are apparently slower developers....slower all round in my opinion!

 

Hope this helps

 

Edited to sort pics as I had posted the same pic about five times!
