I took these pics today, 10/17/21. The chick turned 5 weeks old yesterday. Any gender guesses?

I don't see splash but a lighter lavender color. I have had some that have been very pale in color. Not a breeder I would use that light.

At 5 weeks, I see a slight comb and wattles peeking out. Fairly thicker legs and slow feather growth around the neck and back. I'm leaning male. 3 weeks and you'll know for sure.
 
Wait....whaaaaat??? NOT a Lavender Orpington chick???? 😳😳😳

Is it perhaps the lighting in the pics?? Maybe I should take some more pics for you guys to judge?

I got Lavender Orpington hatching eggs from a very reputable woman on eBay. A wonderful, Christian woman I might add, lol. The information in her description was very extensive and detailed on her whole Lavender Orpington operation.

@FeatherTay , I’m looking at your pic of your 5 week old Lavender Orpington pullet and it pretty much looks the same as mine. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I wouldn't panic yet. It could be the lighting. Like I said earlier, I see orpington and I see a light lavender showing. I would say for now your baby is indeed lavender, just lighter than usually seen.
