Lavender Orpingtons 16-1/2 weeks

[jennhalcyon]

Hi all! From time to time I post pics of these three to see what you all think about their gender. They will be 17 weeks on this week. The lighter colored one (back middle of the group pic and the one eating out of my hand) appears to be a rooster, although there hasn't been a crow yet. The other two I'm hoping are pullets. I really thought I'd know for sure by now but they are much tougher than my Buff Orpingtons and Barred Rocks!

Thanks!

They are either very slow maturing roos or are pullets but id guess roos

Can you get side pictures of each one?

Do these help? It's so hard to get them still. But they all peeks out when I was collecting eggs so I was at least able to get good head shots of all three.

Top right looks like a cock. The other two it's hard to tell. Let's see what the others think.

The top right I'm thinking is a cockerel. The rest look like pullets for now. Not entirely sure, so you'll have to see what a few weeks brings!
