Pullet or Cockerel lavender Cochin?

[Creede]

Too young to know the breed for sure. Could possibly be a blue orpington.

Fair enough, thank you!

Okay, here is the chicken's five-week-old update. Still leaning cockerel, but I have no idea what breed. Again, it was purchased from TSC as a Lavender Cochin. Please share your opinions with me. Cockerel or pullet, and what breed.

Anyone have an idea on the breed? Blue? Orpington? Andalusian? Something else?

Looks like the blue Plymouth rocks that I got from TSC

Neat, I will do some googling on these chickens. Thanks!

@Hillbilly Hen, is barring a requirement for Blue Plymouth Rock Cockerels? Curious, because ours does not show any barring.

I believe it is. But it can be faint. I'm still waiting for mine to let me know if it's a he or she. I have 6 now. I've never had them before. 2 are from TSC and 4 are from family farm and home. The 2 from TSC look slightly different from the ones from family farm and home.

They look pretty cool from what I’ve seen online! This chicken stuff is fun.

Here is the week 6 update. My wife named this chick Violet early on in hopes of a pullet. My 2-year-old calls it "Pilot", haha. Funny enough, "He" just might become Pilot. He hasn't crowed yet, nor has she laid an egg, so who knows? Still unsure on breed most of all.

Week 7 update. Still thinking cockerel and unsure of the breed. Any opinions?
