Pullet or Cockerel? Lavender Orpington Edition

[akf93]

This is Violet but I’m thinking she might be a Vi Guy instead. Pullet or cockerel? 9-10 week old Lavender Orpington. She (he?) has a large comb but she has very short tail feathers so I’m not sure. Tail feathers not shown, sorry! Not crowing or mating yet like her 9-10 week old Polish cockerel friends.

Good morning! This Lavender Orp is about 12 weeks old now. Just coming to see if you are all still leaning cockerel. Still not crowing like the other cockerels that are the same age. Large comb and wattles but nothing good for tail feathers.

Definitely thinking cockerel, Orpington pullets have practically zero comb at that age, in my (limited) experience.
