Hen or roo?!

[Mamabird20]

This is my 9 week old lavender Orpington. I absolutely love him/her! I really want a roo with my bunch, he’s slow feathering but spunky and keeps up with his 10 sisters/brothers.

Do you have any other lavender orpingtons to compare it with?
Side by side photos?

Unfortunately I do not. I had two and the other one was feathered right away, keeping up size wise with my isa browns and everything. This one is so small and feathering so slow! It has zero tail feathers at all

My other one was in a accident due to bad storms and the ramp ripped right off the coop from wind and smashed her. It broke my heart!

The lack of any tail is usually a good sign that it's a cockerel. Orpington cockerels usually get in their tail slowly.
The comb is small, but pretty pink.
