RRRisnewtochickens Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Hi all Another sexing question, last one I promise! Do you reckon this one is a Bertha or a Dave? He/she is 6-7 week old buff orpington. Many thanks, Ria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Buff orps are normally late developers, so I'd say Dave too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RRRisnewtochickens Posted June 13, 2010 Author Share Posted June 13, 2010 I knew they took a bit longer than the others to know for sure, but thought I'd try early - I hate not knowing! I admit I thought he was a Dave for a while as his comb went quite red but it hasn't changed one bit over the past week, not in size or colour, which got me thinking maybe he was a Bertha instead! We've actually gone and got another buff orp as we thought he was a Dave, but there isn't much difference in their combs, which again got me thinking. So how long before we know for sure do you think? What do you think of this one? 9 -10 weeks old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RRRisnewtochickens Posted June 14, 2010 Author Share Posted June 14, 2010 The first two piccies are of the same chick, 6-7 week old. And the third piccie is of a 9-10 week old chick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
