muzzie Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 6 weeks old now still not sure about the one on the left. Does anyone know when they start to crow? How about comb and wattle development when would be the latest I would see red in a cockrel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 The one on the left does seem to have more headgear than its companions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickvic Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Like Egluntine said, more headgear on the one on the left but they are so cute Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 That tail looks mighty suspicious. Orps are slower to mature sexually than most birds, so it might be a while before you're sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feemcg Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 I 'think' they're all girls but had an Orp that I sexed as a girl and had very little head gear till 24 weeks, then crowed at 29 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muzzie Posted May 21, 2009 Author Share Posted May 21, 2009 I guess I'll just have to wait 29 weeks wow is that slow to mature. I'm sure the other two are pullets so if this is a rooster at least it is only the one. Yes the tail is what first made me question this one I do believe this morning that the saddle feathers are starting to appear. 1 rooster 4 hens sounds good. I will call him Henry if he really is a boy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
