Lavender Orpington at 5 weeks male or female?

Pullet! Mine are eight weeks old on Thursday. We gave away our lavender Orpington to a nice home where he can look be the rest of his life happily with his own flock!
Yay! I'm pretty sure she is a female, just threw me off when she got such a prominate comb at three days old and also how she use to go for my hand at day one! I guess she is just smart and knew where the food was coming from, also just so bold and friendly from day one! I guess it made me think she was a roo, but I am pretty sure she is a pullet, I hope:)
 
So pretty! I love Lavender Orpingtons. Mine just hit 13 weeks!
Your Lavenders are beautiful! Do you think that they just all are really bold and friendly? That's what made me think mine was a roo and also the big comb for her head! My Austalope is also the same way! They both jump up on my knee.

That's great! I am glad I don't think I will have to rehome mine, but I have 8 and I thought I might accidentally get a roo or 1 would not make it or something, but now I am thinking hope I don't have too many! I think have read they live 10-13 years! I ordered more than I really should have because I didn't want to add on later and just wanted to have a little flock that would be together from the start:)
 
@SurferchickinSB how’d she turn out? I have 4 straight run that are almost 3 weeks old.
Hi there! This is sort of an old post, but she turned into a beautiful lavender Orpington hen with spurs! LOL!! She is a little over 4 1/2 years old now.
