Lavender Orpington gender 4 weeks

[karint]

Thanks to JedJackson on my other post I have no realized I have a lavender Orpington and the bin was mislabelled. That could also mean the fact that it’s suppose to be a girl might not be valid either. Definitely a few things that make me suspicious but nothing to compare too as it was the only one I grabbed from that bin. Any votes if it looks like a roo or pullet and why it is just over 4 weeks.

Looks blue to me. The color is too dark to be lavender. It's a bit young to sex yet, but I'd watch the comb to see if it turns red in the next few weeks.

I agree that it's not a LO, it's a blue bird. Could be Australorp or Marans. What was the bin supposed to be? Could be one of those Blue Hoover's mixes...... Nothing says cockerel to me....

Looks like a pullet, and like others have said, more blue than lavender.

Thanks. The hatchery only has grey chickens that are sapphire gem and lavender Orpington so it has to be one of them but as long as it’s a hen I’m happy.
