Lavender Orpington Roo or Hen?

Thinking this is a Roo? Approximately 8wks.

Maybe, but I wouldn't say definitely. I've seen pullets of this variety comb up early. So I'd give it a chance. If you see a growth spurt or deeper coloring in the comb in the next few weeks then I would say it is a cockerel.

We have another lavender Orpington but it’s comb is smaller and paler and has longer tail feathers and no distinguishable wattles yet, but they couple be a couple of days to a week apart in age, so it has me curious.

Agreed.
