Is this a male (lavender orpington)?

[purplekat]

Hello!
These are our 9 week old chickens. We are wondering about the grey one. It is a lavender orpington...is it a dude chicken? We are new to this whole chicken thing so have no idea what to look for and I'm reading conflicting info on the web. Thanks

That’s a dude. Too much wattles and comb developed for a 9mo bird. He’s gorgeous

I don't think the waddles and the comb mean that's a boy. This is my Cochin Hen when she was about 6 months old. I don't know if that's a rooster or a hen though. The erect stance and shorter tail looks male to me but, I'm not sure what Orpington is. Only that's he/she is very pretty

At nine weeks that is definitely a cockerel, as is the light colored one to the right of it, if it's the same age.

That is a gorgeous bird!

I'm fairly certain that's a cockerel.

Handsome cockerel!

Yes indeed a cock-a-doodle dude!

Most likely a dude chicken. Also the gold one looks like a possible dude chicken too
