4 week old lavender Orpington

[ShrekDawg]

How many weeks?

I’m not sure if I missed it but please include weeks, this can determine cockerel or pullet, but for now I think pullet? All though my buff Orpington cockerel look kind of like yours, but I see yours has more feathers so I’m still leaning towards pullet

Oh sorry

We love her so much so we are hoping pullet. What do you see that makes you think pullet? Thanks again for your opinion.

Since she’s only four weeks i think cockerel, but if you put your finger and wiggle it near her face it she follows it then she might be a rooster, and if she just acts like a rooster

Might be..... ya I'll agree with that.

It’s fine. No worries. Easy to miss.

How many weeks?

The original pics were 4 weeks. They are now almost 6 weeks. It doesn’t appear that the comb has gotten significantly bigger or pinker than 2 weeks ago.

If that’s the case you should be fine, but if they show rooster like behavior, for example; being the top of the pecking order and acting kinda mean

I understand red combs only appear on Males unless female is at laying age. But, males usually have waddles before the females get theirs, now does the chick have waddles?

The female can have a red/pink comb before laying, (i know this because my pullet has this) theirs isn’t necessarily bright red, kinda pink but might still be a pullet
