Okay so I have 4 Lavenders that are almost 16 weeks old so I would say they are all girls but there is NO WAY that I could have hatched 4 girls ... I am a proven Rooster hatcher..... PROVEN.... And these all look the same to me .... their feathers seem to fray at the ends if that makes sense.... So I need some of you experts to tell me if I really do have all girls or is one of these a boy???

Thanks in advance!!!!!

Okay I know I have all of the chickens in here but like I said I can not tell them apart......
 
I think 1 and 4 are girls; full body shots of the others would be better. I bought straight run from a local breeder and 3 out of 4 of my lav orps were roos! So mayb you've got my opposite luck :)
 
This is CRAZY I HATCH BOYS .... BOYS ... but these are 4 months old and well their combs are not that big and they are just starting to pink up......
Hmmmmmm I still am dubious ..... but if you all really think so

I bought three LO "hens" but one is a whole lot larger than the other two. Plus it has bigger feet, no spur, and it's tail feathers look like a rooster, but not it's comb. I need help too deciding whether it's a hen or roo. It doesn't crow and it's about 4 months old.
 
Well I sold two of these at hatch and the guy let his son pick them out and he of course picked the biggest most beautiful which I was sure was a boy..... and 1 other which could have been either..... One had twisted tibia and didn't make it and I am left with these 4 GIRLS?!!!

Of course I wanted all girls!!!! I have just hatched SO MANY boys this year I really didn't think I'd have 4 girls! That is CRAZY..... I still don't believe it ... keep waiting for tail feathers, combs etc to show up..... I did hear one of the girls singing this morning .... So eggs in a month or so ???
