Lavender Orpington...

[kaela_has_chickens]

I have this Lavender Orpington, around 7 weeks old, and I’m REALLY hoping there’s still a chance for it to be a pullet!? I really wanted one, but if it’s a roo, I’m going to have to get rid of it!! (Don’t mind the mud on the feathers... so. much. rain. here in Kansas City lately, so the run area is pretty muddy at the moment!)

Wow gorgeous! I have no idea what gender it is but am new and have never seen a lavender Orpington before... I’m so impressed. I really hope it’s not a roo so you can keep her!!

I have three 11 week Buff Orpingtons and their combs are small and light colored. I think you might have a roo. If we were closer I'd take it off of your hands. Such a beautiful bird!

That's a cockerel

2x Ol Grey Mare Lavender Orpingtons are beautiful & so very puffy.

It looks like a cockerel to me, but it's somewhat harder to sex orpingtons. It's probably best to wait it out. I would cry if I had to give a lavender orp away

Cockerel.

Agree, looks like a cockerel... so pretty though! If she/he's really sweet you could wait until they crow, just to confirm - very unlikely but could theoretically be a super early developer...
Our 6 month old mixed breed hen just started laying, she has comb and wattles that size. When she was 6 weeks you could hardly see them. Lavender Orps are often beautiful, sweet birds... Sorry, but seems to be a rooster.
