Pullet or Cock?

[chirpy chicks]

Hi everyone

We have two Lavender Orpingtons who are now three and a half weeks old. We're trying to work out whether we have pullets or cocks, we've attached some pics and would love to hear other peoples opinions!

This is Clover








And this is Peppa









Thanks in advance

Pullets.

I'm petty sure Peppa is a boy. Clover looks like a pullet.

Peppa is a girl.see clover you can see his comb.And clover has large spur bumps.

Thanks everyone for your replies, it will be interesting to see how these two turn out! We got a dozen fertile eggs and put them in the incubator, but these were the only two that hatched. It doesn't really matter to us whether they are pullets or cocks as we are hoping to have a Orpington cockrel anyway.

Any more ideas ?

I'd say pullet and roo.

Do you have more recent pics you could post?

at 4 weeks the tail and wing feathers are short on roos and long on hens...with out tail comparison its hard to say but the pic of the tail on the one sure looks roo..jeff

Tails dont really matter.Because my hens tail curled and it turned green and pretty.
