I received an order of chicks on August 25th, so they're going to be 12 weeks old on Monday. I ordered 5 female chicks (one passed away at 7 weeks old from an unknown cause that started when she arrived ). My lavender orpington has had me concerned about gender, and I figured it can't hurt to get more opinions. She has a fairly small comb that is slightly pink but can occasionally act very much like a cockerel. I've figured that it could maybe be due to the fact the she is just dominant. Let me know what you all think! Thanks!







 
My 3 week old Lemon Cuckoo Orp cockerel has a bigger comb than that! Totally pullet.
 
At 12 weeks I feel confident saying pullet, even with a slow developing breed like an Orpington.
