Orpington hen or cockerel?

He/she is only 7 weeks and I realize that it's not the optimal time to make a determination on sex, but I'm curious as to what others suspect it may be. So, here are some pics of my 1st ever hatchling.

Much too young to sex accurately, but looks like a pullet for now.

Looks like a pullet....but those Orps can come along slow sometimes. Call her a girl for now and just watch for red comb and wattles in the next few months.

Thanks y'all! That was my train of thought too. I was just bit by the curiosity of it all. Currently I refer to it as a she. I hope she stays a she but it's cool either way. I just really want more hens for more eggs.

Thanks. She is and she's so sweet too. Loves sitting on my lap.
