Cockerel or pullet? (9 week old Lavender Orpingtons)

[Esher]

Have two 9 week old Lavender Orpingtons, thinking both might be cockerels, what do you think?

Not so familiar with Orpingtons but the first one looks like a pullet to me and the second more like a cockerel... Experts will tell...

I would agree...but I am not an expert either

I believe you have 2 males. Here are a pic of both my males at roughly 8 weeks old.

2 cockerels. I believe. No expert though.

@LadiesAndJane @Overo Mare I have never owned orps.

First: Pullet
Second: Cockerel

Some Orpingtons are slow to develop. Likely a pair, but could be two cockerels, one just slower to mature.

My orps are at 12 weeks tomorrow, and they have less developed combs than those two.

I agree. You have a pair Orpington pullets get their combs early

Here's Mabel, my Red Orpington at the same age. Very similar comb and wattle size to your first
