Cockerel or pullets? Lavender Orpington

[WVduckchick]

Yep. Roosty *still* definite pullet. Chicks is a little cockerel.

I have a pair I'm still up in the air about. I'll have to get pics of them and look up their age. Funny how i can tell other folks birds, and can't tell on my own! Lol

At this point im just posting more pictures gives me some where to post rather then a new thread. I think I've accepted that roosty is a pullet, but i haven't decided to actually post a thread about chicka yet. But thank you. I honestly didn't even expect another comment at this point

I'm enjoying seeing your pretty birds grow up.

So I'm starting to second guess Roosty again. I'll try to get a closer look tonight and maybe some pictures but it looks like spurs are starting to grow

I've had hens with spurs so that doesn't necessarily mean rooster.

I know the flock he comes from none of the females have spurs, and I think from my conversation with my friend few if any hens even have spur buttons

Anyways here are the picures I just took. It's not a very great pic of the spurs but the are certainly larger then most of my girls spur bottons.

Could you get a good picture of its saddle feathers? I think I see rooster feathers coming in.

This one is a rooster. Is it the older or younger one?

That's the older one, same one everyone was so certain was a pullet. Just suddenly started changing again. I really do give up with that bird... I crowed at him today to see what he might do, he stared at me like WTF you not a chicken, him the lavender chick and one of the red chicks too, but the red chick is suppose to be sexlinked and doesn't look male to me at this point.

Anyways a few more pics of Roosty for your viewing pleasure.
