That's a cockerel. Here's a perfect example of mine. The 2 far left are pullets and the one on the right is a cockerel:

I considered, momentarily, tagging and summoning the crusher, but the thread is already calling out, like a lost lamb, all on its own. I.... will go hide.

y’all making me tired
but thanks for the input!

So the folks that have answered on here have way more experience than me, so I won’t pretend to know otherwise, so instead I’ll show you what my 9 week old LO (pretty positive pullet) looks like to compare.

Hi all! New chicken mom here.
I have four 6-week olds.. I’ve ruled out 3 of the 4 breeds being pullets.
Could anyone give me their input on this giant lavender orpington?

Her legs are so long it’s almost like they fold twice when she lays on the ground. I don’t see any red yet.. totally peach.. but.. I have interesting luck. Help!?
Thanks in advance chicken friends View attachment 3542444

I’ll come up with a good response after the weekend… when she stays a she

Not suprising. Young cockerels are always appear more friendly because they are a bit more Courageous.

There certainly is a slight chance this will still be a pullet. I was recently 100% fooled with a bird here. Looked like a certain cockerel on all accounts, but the comb and wattles just stopped developing at about 6 weeks.

Just waiting for that egg to make it official.

She’s a hen!!!!!

I couldn’t wait to share.. at almost 11 weeks the LAVENDER IS A HEN per our vet!

Her comb/wattle basically stopped growing at the last picture and lost any “red” it had

I'd keep an eye out, my 12 week old lavender has less than that. How did your vet give you a definite?
