Hi Folks

Can I have a bit of help please? Can anybody give me a defiative method of sexing these orpie chicks . They are 3 months old. Any help greatly aprecciated

Awwww pretty CE!  No expert, but my opinion is just from their combs, 1 boy and 2 girls.  He has also got thick legs, but can't see the others legs!

I would say middle one is cock, the one on the right is hen, sorry, can't see the other ones.  I think that the waddles are too pronounced on the middle one to be a ahen.  ( I am no expert though, just from expereince from my sussex and Co-Nu's )

Sorry, would need a face on piccie to say really, but agree that middle one looks like a cock, as the comb and wattles are more developed.

I have 4 x 12 week old orpies wandering about the garden just now (not chocs though) and the 3 girls have no combs or wattles at all.
In fact my 10 month old hen doesn't have much in the way of face gear either.
She's a LF Jubilee though - here she is...

Boy in the middle and girls each side..... i think!

I have Bantam Buff Orpie hens and they have quite small combs and wattles.

Orpies are difficult to sex, especially if they are all the same.  My guess would be 2 hens and 1 cock
