LAVENDER ORPINGTON - Pullet or Cockerel

No dominate behavior that I can tell anyway? I'll try to get some feet and leg pic's soon. I hope he/she is a roo, I ordered 5, 4 female one male, but lost one. I have never had orpington's but I think they are so beautiful.

Please share your pic's, would love to see them!

I say pullet. I don't see much of a comb on her. And what she has is very yellowish. About 8 weeks I see a big difference in combs and wattles from other pictures. My 3 new chicks, now 7 weeks old, are very friendly but I sit with them about 5-10 minutes a day with my arms in their cage. All 3 climb up my arm. Besides normal chick starter feed, the last couple of weeks I've been giving them small amounts of dried mealworms just so they relate me in a good way. My 5 pullets, where 4 are laying, I did this with them too. Then when I placed them in the coop I have a fold up stool I sit on for the 5-10 min. Nevertheless, I'm convinced my Lavender Orpington is a pullet and "Lovey" looked like yours at that age. Look for my name in this post where I posted some pictures of her. I will take some new ones tomorrow. They're sleeping now.
