Another Lavender Orpington sexing question.

I'd bet money they were both cockerels.

I think that they are definitely pullets. Our cockerel already had saddle feathers and a great big tail and comb at that age, and, though this varies between roosters, you’d probably start to hear crowing any day now. Here’s a picture of our boy at 17 Weeks.

I’m not sure if he’s a special case, but I’m gonna guess that if you had a cockerel you’d probably know for sure by now.

He's a pretty guy!

No, she didn’t realize. She has been trying to find a chocolate cuckoo orp rooster, so now she wants him back!

I'm glad it worked out for both of you!

Could we get an update on the lavenders? Did they turn out to be for sure roosters?

I'd bet money they were both cockerels.

And you would win.

Yes, they both turned out to be cockerels. The smaller one died. The bigger one is gorgeous. I will try to remember to take my phone out there today and get some pictures.

Sorry you lost one of them. It's frustrating when you've gotten them that far along. I just lost a Lavender Silver-laced Orpington pullet for no reason.

Aw, I’m sorry. I hate when that happens.

I got pictures of Sal. He is about 6 months old.

 

[ColtHandorf]

He'll probably fill out a lot more. He's handsome.

Aww he’s pretty
