4 week old lavender Orpington

[Ashleyhallcasey]

Hi all,

I received 4 sexed chicks. The one in question is a lavender Orpington. She (fingers crossed) is extremely sweet and cuddly. We also received a buff Orpington and they seem to be developing differently. Our lavender has a bright pink comb and pointier tail feathers. Please see the attached photos. Thanks in advance for your expertise.

I think it is a pullet but I could be wrong. @The Moonshiner ???????

I vote cockerel

Gunna say female-until it crows.

These can comb up early in both genders. More time is needed.

I’m going to vote pullet. Unless @The Moonshiner has a persuasive argument otherwise. I find it useful to wait with Lavender Orps. I had a tricky one a few years back that I swore was a cockerel…and lots of folks on here swore it was a cockerel. She’s still laying eggs

Did I have an opinion on your Orp?
