Lavender Orpington

[16457]

I bought 4 straight run Lavender Orpington chicks. They were hatched May 14 2019. By the way they got their feathers I thought I had 3 pullets and 1 cockeral. None of them have the looks of a rooster. Wouldnt they be showing it by now?

I should say no combs, just little yellowish red ones. No wattles.

You would think that any cockerels would be showing some sort of signs by now, yes. Can you try to post some pictures of them?

These are my 3 1/2 month old chicks. I had just let them out to free range and they didnt pose very well. Some might be the same chicken but they all look basically the same. I did see one do that little dance roosters do today.

I don't see any obvious cockerels....
But I've never known a pullet to dance?
Hopefully someone who has more experience sexing Orpingtons will chime in.

They look exactly like my lavender pullets so... most likely pullets and did i see a lavender guinea by you orpingtons?

Looks like pullets. I have a few lavenders myself. By this age, a cockerel would be sporting some red.
