Am I Really a Lavender Orp Rooster?

[jlwquilter]

I was told I was a lavender Orpington pullet but 2 weeks ago I crowed. And for the past 10 days I’ve been doing my rooster duty to the hens.

Now I’ve seen posted pics here of other lavender orp roosters and frankly I don’t look like them. I did come from a backyard owner that sells chickens as a side business and I was too young to notice who my mom and dad were or anyone else in the yard.

Since I don’t have money to get in ancestry dot com I thought maybe you knowledgeable peeps could tell me what I am.

Thanks!

Yep. But what about the lavender Orpington part?

I’d say pullet. I’m learning though!

Sorry, I missed that part... He looks like one!

This bird is younger, right? The rust color coming out on the wings says that its a cockerel. Love the iridescence on him!

In the last pic is seems there's striping on his tail feathers. Could he be cuckoo lavender? Or Orpington mixed with a barred breed?
