Blue Orpington Hen or Roo?

[urbanfarms]

3 week old Blue Orpington chick, wondering hen or roo? She has looked us right in the eye since week 1, is dominant compared to our others, but sweet as can be. We named her Drama if that gives any indication! Her legs are thick but I think thats common for Orpingtons... I know its early but what do you guys think? Hen or roo?

Hard to see in pics, is it growing any wattles at all yet? And yes it’s too early but I love a good guessing game

Too early, both genders will have waddles at around 4 weeks.

Agreed. Post pics showing combs and wattles, at 6 weeks.

Too early to be certain. I'd lean cockerel, but I know my bloodlines well enough to do that.

Would be great to see updated pic. I am not sure about sex - female??
But wondering about it being a blue.. maybe a splash, or something else mixed in? The photo is in shadow so hard to tell but I see what almost looks like light and dark areas and is that barring?
