What did these end up being? I have one which er still don't know if it's a roo or pullet. No crowing, not sure if laying. The roos we have dance around the lavender, and sometimes grab at the tail, but the lavender is much bigger i think they're afraid of it lol. We've had ours since September, we were told it was around 3.5 months old then, so it should be crowing by now if it were a roo, don't ya think? As soon as i get a good picture, I'll post it.

I will say the Orpington Roosters develop a lot slower than any other rooster I have had, mine didn't start crowing until I had already determined they were roosters like 5 months old or more...and if it's lavender even the coloring doesn't help to determine. post a pic or just wait it out!
 
This one is going ti be 8 months next week. I know it's still a baby, but i figured the other roos shouldn't be dancing around it and it would at least show some sign of being a roo. I do have two roos that match its size and they do the dance but don't actually jump. Same with the smaller roo. Dances but doesn't jump. Here a the best pictures i could get. It's always a little sketchy of me being too close so it moves a lot. Sorry if they're to blurry. Actually, it's only letting me upload one picture. But this is one of the lavender next to the rooster that will be 1 year old in March.

I know this is an older thread, but are there any guesses on this one? Viola or Victor?
