At 9 weeks old I think combs and wattles would be developed on a cockerel. I questioned one of mine that looked a lot like yours. Then one of the roosters let me know she was a hen. The dad is mostly Americauna and the hen is mostly blue Orpington. She’s very pretty with a nice disposition
I just saw this thread tonight. Did the chick survive? My last batch I had to assist 4 chicks. The eggs were from a friend so maybe they had the air sac issue. Membranes were thick and dry so possibly humidity but others in the batch hatched in less time with no issues. Anyway, what we did was...
My Buff Orpington is classic Buff looking but the dad was Americauna. She just started laying—Olive eggs! My roo looks mostly lavender Orpington, I’m not sure what else, I got the eggs from a friend who doesn’t know, but I plan to hatch their eggs next month and see what I get.
