Lav Orps Male or Female?

Lol yeah maybe you’re right!

Here is a photo of one of my cockrells with what I believe is a future egg layer (praying)

They appear to be a male and a female but it's hard to say for sure from the picture.

I have 10 week old lavender orpingtons and none of them have as much comb as these babies so my guess is they are all cockerels :-(

Have you posted your own thread? I'm not 100% sure those are Lavender Orps? The comb on the one looks gray?

They were sold to me as lavender orps ‍ Just from another person not from TS or anything.

They're so cute! I would make a thread, there are lots of knowlegeable people that will help you!

Great idea! A thread just for orpington chicks. We can all compare our babies' combs, wattles, & adorableness!

It may be normal. Mine have just always been pink. Here they are at appx 6 weeks.

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

To me, 2 & 6 look like pullets, and maybe 5?
