Hello,
Ive been curious about a couple of my 11 week old lavender orpingtons that my buff orpington hatched. Ive been comparing the feathers with the ones im sure are pullets but they all look the same to me except for the redder comb and wattles on two of them.
I know ill be able to tell soon enough but i enjoy reading and looking at the pics and posts so hopefully everyone doesnt mind another post about gender :)

Males won't start to get masculine feathers for another couple of weeks. The bird in the back of the first picture with the redder comb is a cockerel. The one in the front is a pullet.
 
Thank you! I definitely dont want two roosters. Daddy rooster was getting aggressive so he was dispatched but trying to socialize with these ones more to try to keep them docile.
