So here is an updated picture of my Blue Orpington Nugget at 6 weeks. I’m starting to think she’s a she but I’m no expert. What does everyone think?

It's early, but not screaming cockerel at this point.

That looks more lavender than blue I'd say pullet right now too

She/he does seem quite light for blue Orpington. Maybe the hatching eggs were labelled wrong

So cute! Pullet.

Looks like a pullet to me. As others have stated she's very light and even to be a Blue. If she gets any darker feathers, I'd say she was a Splash. But currently, it looks Lavender.
