Lavender Orpington help

[Linzie381]

I posted a couple weeks ago asking about a couple chicks. The bantam is definitely a Cockerel, started crowing every so often a few days ago. But this one I'm still not sure about. "She" is about 12 weeks old. Any input would be great!

I think it's a pullet. A cockerel would be much redder at that age.

Oh I really hope so. This is my first LO and I've wanted one for years. She's definitely fluffier than some of my other for sure girls.

I'm leaning roo, sorry. That's a lot of comb for 12 weeks, and her legs are like pretty chunky. But it ain't over till it's over! Hoping you get your pullet in the end.

Orpington combs are tricky. I would vote pullet until there is more evidence of cockerel.

Yes, the comb is throwing me off. "She" isn't showing any other roo characteristics. Besides the chunky legs. But I was looking at pics online and some pullets have chunkier legs. Maybe these pics show the tail better? It's so hard to get a good pic.

Their shreddy feathers don’t help. I had a confusing Lavender once let me see if I can find the thread…I swore it was a rooster but she’s still laying eggs

Ok here is the thread:

If you skip to page three you can see side by side photos. My cockerel had more developed tail feathers at about the same age yours is
