Lav Orps Male or Female?

[KikiLeigh02]

3, & 4 look like definite cockerels
1, & 5 look like most likely cockerels, but the combs are still pink not red so I would give them 3-4 more weeks and see if they develop male feathering.
2 & 6 look like maybe pullets, but I'm not sure.

My Lavender Orps drove me NUTS! I would honestly give them all 3-4 more weeks and see who develops male feathering.

UPDATE: Now 11 Weeks Old! Curious what everyone is thinking now. 2 and 6 pullet? Maybe? Hopefully . Is 1 also a possible pullet.

My lavender orpington pullet's comb stayed gray in color until closer to the 4 month mark where it started to turn pink. At 5 months old now, it is just starting to turn red-ish, so she is getting close to laying age. I know quality can vary from hatchery to hatchery, but if I compare all of yours to my pullet at 11 weeks, yours are all roos.....

Ok thank you! They all developed so fast but now I’m hoping there’s actually a couple pulleys! So I’ll wait see

Mine are almost 13 weeks now. These are the boys. Their combs are very red and have been for at least 6 or 7 weeks. I'm sure 2 of yours are pullets, I would put (a small amount of) money on 3 being female. Good luck. BTW I've had no problem finding homes for the boys because they are so beautiful.

Well I ended up with 4 roosters and 2 pullets thank goodness, they were all looking like males for awhile at the beginning
