Pair of Lav Orps, or two boys? 7 1/2 wks old

Thanks for looking. I keep going back and forth on this pair. I know one for sure is a cockeral. One developed much faster and is much larger, bigger tail feathers, bigger wattles, but they both have pretty big combs, but one hardly has any wattles.....but that is the slower developing one. Hoping for a pair for breeding, or do you think it's two boys? They are 7 1/2 wks old.

Boy on right, is the left one boy or girl?

Boy on right again....left one?

What am I?

The one in question...again.

And again.

Thanks for your thoughts!

Looks like 2 boys to me.

I think faster developing and a longer tail means pullet, when they're chicks like this

Not sure though

I thought 2 boys for sure last week. But in the span of a few days, the one has developed big red wattles and the other hadn't, so I was hopeful! But ah well. I'm supposed to get more chickies next month so there is still hope!

I'd have to agree; looks like you have two boys.

Just breed the boys with some nice black orps. Then the chicks will carry the lavender gene! Then you are on your way to more Lavenders!
