Large chicken is a rooster and I believe smaller chicken is a pullet

Thanks , this is narrowing most of my 20 are cockerels

You can see the Lav hen and the blue hen (diff breeder), you can see the obvious too (huge comb and feet), but what about these 2 middle guys? Also I saw the adult hens have red in this farmers flock. But are they early hens or late Roos?? I'm at such a loss!! Please give me your amount of positivity as well. If they're most def not hens I have to sell them. Can only have 1 roo. These are Lavender orpingtons born May 3. The blue is older.

Cockerels. Orpingtons are not a fast maturing breed.

Pullet, and she'll be laying in just a few more weeks.

You were right. 3 pullet eggs from her so far at only 17 weeks.

Why thank u for the answer.

 

[achiekitty]

Thank you. We can't keep the roosters. I guess we'll have two happy hens with more space to roam.
