Hi -
New chicken momma, been lurking for a while waiting for my chickens to get some age on them.
I am hoping that ya'll can help me determine a few things. :)
1. I have 5 lavender Orpingtons. 3 of which I am not super sure on whether they're pullet or cockerls.
They're roughly 8 weeks old as of Sunday
#1 - I say cockerl; #2 - I say cockerl; and #3 - I say pullet.
I included a pic of my lav hen Ash (11 weeks) with #3.

2. We got this one in the group of chickens the lav's came in. Was told its an olive egger. Also 8 weeks est. It's name is Sal. I think it's a cockerl.

3. I also got a polish from the local feed store. From my research, I'd say it's a pullet. Also 8 weeks est. It's name is Bingo Dauber.

And finally...

4. We got these with a group of 6 (2 red sex link, 2 cinnamon queen and these 2) *4 weeks old est - they're supposed to be black sex links. I've not seen any with their coloring before. They have black and white feet, too.

I think all three are pullets, however It's hard to tell when their this young, maybe wait another month.
Thank you. The red waddles on #1 and #2 has me wondering, reallyred comb, too. #3 doesn't have any waddles showing and the comb is barely there.
Ash is my gauge being that she's older and exhibits female feathering. I know it's difficult to tell on lavender due to the shredded feathering.
