5 week old Lavender Orpingtons

[Fourboysandchicks]

Hi! I have 5 week only lavender Orpingtons. This is my first time with this breed and I have read sexing can be difficult. Can anyone help me with any insight. Both are getting feathers at the same time and both have small bumps along the top of their comb. Their combs are about the same size

Chick 1- a tad larger than the other

Chick 2:

You sure those are 5 weeks? They look 3 weeks

That is what I was told when I bought them. I have had them myself for 3 weeks

They look 3-4 weeks old vs 5 weeks. Either way they still look to young to say anything for certain. Give it another 2-4 weeks and repost then.

Per their hatch date, they are 4 weeks and 4 days. Sorry I was a few days off
