Another Gender Check - 5 week old orpington/wyandotte chick

[Fluster Cluck Acres]

What do you think? I'm leaning toward cockerel... and every day I'm starting to get more and more convinced I might have 5/5 cockerels from my first ever hatch

This is Noel. Noel is 5 weeks and a few days old. Parents are hatchery chicks: Papa is red orp, mama is single-combed blue laced red wyandotte.

I see a large-ish comb, red wattles, and thick legs. Please prove me wrong.


Edited to add 1 more pic. I realized I don't have any good photos of the legs.

Cockerel those comb and wattles are pretty much already the size of my full grown Orpington hen's.

@Missashley Yep. Cockerel. And the first to crow!

I realized you'd already discovered it was a cockerel when I made it to the end, but what hatchery is offering Red Orpingtons?

I’m not sure where the OP got theirs from but I think Mt Healthy has some. I’ve been eyeing for a while but not sure what the quality is

Interesting. I didn't know of any hatcheries with them.
