Is my lavender orphington a roo??

[Boarderames]

Hello Everyone!
I am new to the world of backyard chickens and boy was I missing out! I started off with 3 chicks from a local feed store about 8 weeks ago that purchases their stock pre-sexed. I know there are always possibilities of obtaining roos rather than hens, but I’m pretty sure 2 out of the 3 of my babes are hens. Will someone please help me out with my beautiful lavender orphington?? Super calm and loving but a bit taller and more showy than the red and barred rock, it’s making me question everything day by day! See below.

Definitely possible, but kinda looks like a girl too. Hard to tell

Agreed! I would also check out the saddle area to see if there are any pointy feathers, although I don't see any saddles in this photo so I think you have a girl!

I have multiple young lavender Orpington roos and hens that is almost definitely a hen

Your 'orpington' is a pullet.
