8 week old Russian Orloff - guess the sex!

[905silkies]

Hey all, I’ve got another fun guessing game for you. I posted two Orloffs here: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/6-week-old-russian-orloff-sexing.1630493/ with periodic updates, and I’ve got another grow out I’d like your opinions on! I’ll get some closer up photos later.

I’ve also included photos of the parents. The hen is extremely white & was as soon as she started to feather in as a chick.

Looks like a cockerel to me, but I'm not real familiar with the breed.

That’s what I would say as well. I’ve been fooled by assuming a lighter, smaller comb meant pullet for Orloffs on here before. This one’s color looks to be turning darker in the shoulders and comb is more red and prominent than I would expect a cushion comb to be

It’s so hard to tell. Thanks for the guess!

Every Orloff I’ve grown out has been male. Womp womp. Lolol
