Lavender Orpington at 5 weeks male or female?

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.

Thanks, I am thinking male, but hoping female

Well here is my cuckoo lav orp at Maybe 3.5 weeks? He’s a for sure boy so I’m not sure about yours... Mine is even more red and big combed/wattled at 5 weeks 2 days old right now which is the same age as yours I believe...?

He's so cute! Looks so tiny for 3.5 weeks!

Yours is the exact same age as mine, maybe a couple days younger. Do you have a recent photo at 5 weeks you can show me? I would appreciate it

Thanks

Does yours run really fast with it's head down? Mine runs like the old cartoons of the roadrunner, lol!

Here is a photo of mine from this morning. He’s the one with the big red comb and wattles. Keep in mind he’s a cuckoo lav orp so a bit different looking than yours. But still an Orpington!
