Cockerel or hen lavender orpington

[susanjg81]

Can anyone tell me if this is a hen or a cockerel. I got 2 lavender orpington pullets and one is much bigger then the other. Got them at about a 2 weeks old end of July 2023.

Hello and Welcome to BYC. Glad to have you in this poultry loving community. I can't be sure from the photo but it sure looks like a young cockerel to me from the photo.

Can anyone tell me if this is a cockerel or a hen. I will post pics of both my orpingtons. They are supposed to be both hens but I am really starting to question the one we call Winter. The one standing by my marans in the picture.

Susan I see you have two threads going. You can ask the question right here in this thread if you like. I imagine one of the moderators could combine both of your threads here into one. I'm not really sure how it would work.

I'm trying to see if this is a cockerel or hen. I have 2 lavender orpingtons. And one is much bigger. I got them at a couple weeks old then end of July.

Your Orpington look like pullets to me.
