Lavender Orpington at 5 weeks male or female?

[SurferchickinSB]

I hope you share another picture in a couple of weeks. The fifth post on this thread may give you some hope, it looks a lot like yours and they said it turned out to be a pullet:

I had no idea that Lavender Orpingtons were so notoriously hard to sex! I probably would have been way more skeptical of mine lol.

They aren't that hard to sex if u have multiple. And my pullets seem to feather slower than the cockerels

I thought it was just me and my lack of experience, lol!

Yeah, decided to get a rainbow flock and the only ones I have 2 of are my Silver Grey Dorkings and they both look like definite females

I don't have anything to compare with, kinda looks like a parrot.

Wow! Now that's a big comb and wattles!

He's a very big bird! with a voice like Johnny Cash.

Lav looks like a cockerel to me although the comb and wattles are pink and not red there is a thickening to the comb and at 5 weeks I wouldn’t think a female Orp would have any development.
