English Orpington sexing 9 weeks

[Marleeschicks]

Hi again guys!
So I have been told these two English lavender mottled Orpingtons both look like pullets.
I know I for sure have one pullet. Though the second one looks so incredibly different with comb and wattle development that it’s hard ti believe she’s also a girl lol. Is this normal to be this varied in development?
Any thoughts? I have photos of the one in question and if them together. The one in question is certainly more dominant than the other. Not that it necessarily matters— she doesn’t seem to be acting extra in the roo department. Thoughts?
Sorry I am not sure how to label the photos individually in this site yet

It looks like you have a pair. At 9 weeks you won't have much roo behavior or any male specific hackle or saddle feathers. The feathers will start to develop after week 12, some are late bloomers though.

Thanks!! — Does pair imply Roo and hen?

One male, one female. Just the right combination for making more.

I’m definitely thinking so too… wonder why so many on the chicken Facebook page I follow says otherwise lol !!

It looks like a m/f pair to me as well.

So…. Just heard what I’m pretty sure was a crow from that one today so I think ur correct

One is a female, then the one with the bigger comb is a male!

One female and a male. It looks like one is also a bit bigger in size beside the red colored comb. He already has a lot of comb and wattle at 9 weeks. Also check the legs of the chickens. Male have bigger legs.
