Thanks guys... they just look "girly" to me. All of my other Orp roos have massive tree-trunks for legs, and these two are still pretty slender. I'm going to keep hoping for girls. I have two more in the brooder that are 7 weeks old, plus the three split-lavenders to start with. I think it...

This is Kathy's photo My two never looked like the one on the right, which is what I see with most, if not all, of my orpington roosters. The lavenders and split lavenders are from the same hatch, and the combs on the SL roos are much bigger than the lavender's...

Quote: I have gone back and forth 4 times on my babies. I'll have to take new photos, see what you think.

I have to post here now to keep track of the thread and learn new stuff... I have a couple of lavender orp chicks now, don't know if they're boy/girl/whatever yet! But I'm excited!! They're a month old now, so I guess it's time for more photos.
