I think it's a boy

My last orpingtons didn't even get pink until they were ready for PoL at 16 weeks. This one will be 8 weeks on Saturday. Cockerel?

Still kind of pale though...hmmm...could you possibly get a body shot of this little cutie just standing?

Super adorable chick regardless...

These are as good as I could get

I think I see fast comb/waddle development, so I think cockerel. Though I'm not sure because the comb/waddles seem pale.

I’d wait some more. Comb is kinda pale-ish

Update: He's getting male-specific color on his head so I named him Harold lol

I would say he's a cockerel! I think I can see sickle feathers and saddle developing.

I'm excited, cuz he's gonna be a real looker when he's mature! (Pic of an adult roo from Chicken Rodge Farms)
