Lavender Orpingtons grow up

[Millsa]

Check out my male and jury is still out on if thats a pullet.. comb and wattle paler and smaller, 12 weeks and the cock is just about learning to crow! Potential pullet hangs with other hens and does not vocalize!

Can not wait to hatch a few next year!

Hoping you can see some differences between 12week old Pullet and Cockerel below. Lavendars can be tough but I think both of yours look like Cockerels. Sure hope I'm wrong.....

Ah! Yes your hen looks very different from mine, comparing to this it looks like i might have two roos! The one is very dominant .. okay! Well, i have a hairbrained plan to keep both roos and hatch some eggs next year to give my segregated roo its own hens! welcome to chicken math!

Honestly, I could be wrong, LO's definitely keep you guessing. There is another thread on here somewhere that has a long picture progression, and it took forever to determine, no one could figure it out until there was no doubt. They really are sweet chickens!! Both. I LOVE how they look out in my landscape, so pretty! My Hen - Owl.
