Are my Lavender Orpingtons Pullets?

Here are my Lavender Orpington chicks. Any guesses on sex? They are seven weeks old.

#1 and #3 look like roosters. #2 and #4 might be hens.

Did yours turn out to be a pullet and a roo still?

 

[zmelli]

Mikesweeney3000, please keep us updated. I have 18 lavender chicks that are 2 weeks old. My coop only holds 8-10 birds, so I have to figure out who stays and who goes.

I think the first one is iffy, but leaning rooster. 2 and 4 pullets and 3 rooster.

Ok, here they are at 9 weeks old. I tried to keep them in the same order that my 7 week post was in. Let's see what you all think now. Also, why would one of the four have pale legs, and the others dark? I think #2 is younger than the others. Maybe by a week or two.

Here they are at 12 weeks old. One of the roosters started to crow this morning and the larger hen is clucking now. They just joined the big Barred Rocks in the coop today.

zmelli, I think you're right!
