Hi all, I'm new to the thread and was wondering if you could help me determine the sex of my lavender orps. We got these for our kids and are not allowed any roosters in our area. I'm worried I have 4 roosters, however.
:( I would appreciate any feedback or hope that they might be hens!!!! Thank you!!

I tried to get head and body shots. They are 4 weeks and a day.

You might get lucky with 3 and 4 (but don't get your hopes up), but those first two definitely look like cockerels to me. That's just a TON of comb for 4 weeks. Sorry.
 
I raised a pair of lavender orps last year and I could have sworn one of them was a rooster by the comb. When she started laying eggs I was surprised! I would wait a few more weeks and see how they progress, or at least keep them around until they start crowing. You never know ;)
