It's a roo isn't it? 12 week Lavendar Orpington

It was kind of loud out here but I think I heard it trying to crow. I can't compare it to my other lavender because it has the shredder gene. This is my first time having lavender's.

I’m on the fence. My LOrp cockerel was more obvious by that age.

I think it could still go either way, but I'm inclined to say pullet.



I changed my mind.

I'm on the fence as well and it could go either way but my orpington roosters had bright red combs and wattles at this age that were also bigger so I would say pullet. But the tail does make me think it could also be cockerel. I'll say pullet but it could go the other way.

She appears to be a pullet

I don't think I can edit my original post but I was going to update, now at about 25 weeks, I think with most certainty she is a she here's what she looks like now.

Oh, def a pullet! And a beauty. I got a bunch of lav EE last year and they were REALLY hard to sex! I won't do that again ... or oop, I maybe already did, lol! I have black Ameraucanas and Black Australorps. If I breed, I'm going to have the same problem, aren't I?
