    I want to sell this chicken because I have one too many for this coop. S/he is a black split lavender Orpington. It was kind of runty and feathered late but now seems a little bigger and comb much darker/redder that the lavender hatch mate. Previous posts have guessed girl, but I want to double check because I want to sell it and would love to know the gender for disclosure. 11 weeks old.

    At 11 weeks, I'm pretty sure that is a cockerel.

    "It" is looking like a cockerel to me as well.

    No doubt about it, it's a male. Not very Orp-looking, sort of lean-bodied, but definitely male.

    You all have been so helpful! Thanks! Can you help me on my Lavender? I posted a few weeks ago (probably too early) and everyone said Pullet. But her comb and wattles are so red now! Help me! She is so sweet, please still be a girl!! 11wks.

    I'm sorry but an Orp pullet at 11 weeks would not have that huge comb and wattles. I've had many Orps, both blue, black, splash and buffs. That would be a cockerel, IMO.
