I have a lavendar and black orpington. They're both 7 weeks, lavender developed much faster. I've been positive the black was a cockerel, lavender a pullet. Now I'm questioning if the lavendar is a cockerel too

... Lavendar does have a very PINK comb and waddles.
 
Lavender Orpingtons do pink up earlier in my experiences. Watch and wait to see if that comb turns red over the next few weeks which would mean male.
 
Help identifying and sexing two of my chickens, please!

My husband finally decided a handful of chickens wouldn't be a bad idea -- it took a global pandemic! So this spring, we got the last four "barnyard layer mix" chicks from our local big box feed store.

I'm pretty confident in all but two. They are now 11 weeks old.

I think one is a Rhode Island red, but is it a pullet or a cockerel?

I've also decided I think my little white one is NOT a layer but a Red Laced White Cornish pullet. But what do y'all think? Him or her?

Those look like pullets
