English Silver Laced Orpington- Roo?

[JaimeP]

So I know it’s a bit early, Pika is approximately 9 weeks old and while I do not see rooish behaviors the comb and wattles are starting to worry me! This is the only orpington I have, so I have nothing to compare to. Thanks in advance for the guesses! Really hoping for a pullet, since I only have 1 of these.

You posted on 2 of my 3 posts, greatly appreciated! The 3rd is my Easter Eggers. If you have a chance check that one out too please! I separated them to try and get the people who knew the breeds best, maybe not the best decision?

No? That is what the man sold it to me as and I saw the parents, but I did not know the breed. I went for EE’s and ended up with this one too!

Pattern is more columbian, though a bit messy for that too

This man really took me for the newbie I am. Not a silver laced Orpington or Easter Eggers. That’s what I get for trusting people I guess. Thanks!
