Lavender Orpington pullet, 16 weeks, I think she's a he...advice needed!

That is 100% a cockerel. I'm sorry.

So you're saying...there's not a chance...! The bummer is that I started with 4 lavender orpington pullets and gave the other three to my sister (who lives a state away). We kept our favorite and gave her the others. Maybe I can steal one back next time I'm in Idaho...

I appreciate the feedback. Confidence level?

100%, you can see the male feathers very easily.

Maybe she won't notice? Did all 3 of them end up being pullets?

Thanks. I suppose it's time to accept reality and let our fine feathered friend live his life on a farm.

Two are definitely pullets. One looks more like a cockerel. Which means that the sexed pullets I purchased with "98% accuracy" (as stated on the sign) have statistically worked out to be more like a straight run.
