Lavender Orpingtons

[3qkate]

I have two, 8 week lavender orpingtons that I swear are two different sexes but when I listed in my local chicken group to rehome the roo, everyone was telling me it's a hen. Help me settle the debate if you're up for it! Full size picture is the one I think is a roo, next to what I believe are black copper maran roos.

Its comb says roo but everything else says hen...

1st & 2nd pic is a Cockerel
3rd pic is a Pullet

Orpingtons take a longer time to mature but at 8wks, that's alot of red in the comb & wattle of the first two pics, and "big". To be sure, keep until at least 12wks, repost pics.

I’m pretty sure it’s a rooster, mine had a similar sized comb, but Orpingtons can be slow maturers and I had a buff that I thought was a girl for a while and that was also a boy. But I would keep it for a few more weeks just to be sure. The other is definitely a girl. Also those white and black ones look like boys to me too.
