Lavender Orpington Hen or Roo???

[ElizLyon]

I purchased two lavender Orpington pullets at 11 weeks - now they are just shy of 17 weeks and developing very differently- making me question if I have a Roo.

You have a pullet and a cockerel.

You’re welcome, are you able to keep him?

I can't keep him. It is too bad. He is pretty sweet- a bit stand-offish but eats from my hand. I have neighbors who will report me in a second when he crows so I need to get him a new home ASAP.

That too bad, the two of them would make pretty chicks.

Oh no, I’m sorry. That’s always is a bummer, can you try to give them free eggs if they let you keep the rooster? I have heard that works!

Try posting in your state thread to see if anybody might want him.->
