Little Lavender Orpington - Pullet or Cockerel?

Thinking cockerel too!

Chickens will lay on fertile or unfertile eggs. They don’t all go broody though. I’ve seen a broody hen sit on a golf ball.

Haha ok, good to know! Thanks!

And I have them go broody on absolutely nothing but air.

Do not worry about your hens going broody. It is easy to manage and we can help you if that need ever arises!

You guys are the best. So grateful for this forum! I’ve learned things I didn’t even know I needed to know

What was your lavender orp? Have 2 looking a lot like yours did!

Here are some updated pictures! About 6 weeks old now. There is also a picture of her with our buff and you can see the massive difference in size Thoughts?

Here are my 2 at 5 weeks... they definitely look different in the comb. One has a more pronounced comb and a developing wattle that are getting red in color... thinking that is a cockerel?

This lav is a cockerel.

This lav is a cockerel.

Agreed.

Yep, a little cockerel!

Was it a pullet? I have two at 5 weeks old and neither have a yellow comb but each have obvious feather differences. I suspect the one with a tail is a pullet and yours has early tail feathers.
