5wk old Lavender Orpington, pullet?

[vicac]

First post (and let me say, THANK YOU - i’ve been lurking for weeks and this forum has been invaluable) and first time chicken raiser. I know it’s too early to technically tell, but curious what the consensus is on my 5wk old Lavender Orpington. She was smaller than the other girls until one day she wasn’t (though is still overall growing more slowly than the rest) and she has chunky legs and very developed comb. Extremely social, bold and friendly, but I think that could just be the breed? It’s hard to compare her to the rest though because I have an entirely mixed flock.

I have a while before I know for sure, but Pearl is my favorite so I’d hate to get too attached when I can’t keep her if she’s a roo due to a city ordinance.
