Lavender? Gender & Breed

[Melanieee]

Hi! I’m a new chicken owner and hoping you can help me identify the breed and gender of this 3-week old. I ordered females but this one is a bit larger and more aggressive than my other chicks. Thanks for your help!

Looks like a lavender orpington. Too early to tell gender. Give it 2 or 3 more weeks and repost if you are still unsure

Oh, and welcome to BYC!

I agree with Jmns that it’s a lavender Orpington and update in a few weeks for an accurate sex.

It could indeed be a cockerel, but wait a few more weeks and it should be easier to know with more certainty.
