Marjory or Jeffrey!!

I bought 6, what was meant to be Orpington eggs from ebay earlier in the year.  Only 2 hatched and then one disappeared one day never to be seen again!
This is the only chick left and we called it the dinosaur chick as it took so long to get it's feathers.
Now it seems to look quite like an Orp, what do you think??
I having a feeling it is a Roo but thought I would ask you guys!

Count the campfires by glowing flames, never by the ashes that fall. Count your days by the golden hours, don't remember clouds at all. Count the nights by stars, not by shadows. Count your life by smiles, not by tears. And with joy on every birthday, count your age by friends-not years.

You didn't say how old it is, but I don't see any pointy saddle or hackle feathers. I think its a Marjory smile

I actually had edited it to say that she/he was 16 weeks but glad to hear that you both think she is a Margory!

I'm going to go against the grain here and say late blooming roo.

But I'll continue to hope it's a pullet!

Noooooo big_smile  I actually thought it was a Roo but was hoping i was proved wrong, so either way it doesn't really matter, although a pullet is preferred!

I've been wrong before(once, a long time ago, and I don't like to talk about it wink ), and everyone else is saying it's a girl, so think positive thoughts!!
