EE looks like a pullet.

The Easter Egger is a pullet. The somewhat large comb/wattles on the Orpington make me think cockerel, but otherwise, it is pullety.

I'm guessing pullet on both of them. For sure, the Easter Egger is a pullet.

Your we is deff a girl, and I'm leaning towards pullet for your Orpington

Thanks. I was already pretty sure about the Easter Egger, but that lavender Orpington keeps me guessing! She's so pretty! Please be a girl!

The breeder I got her from feather sexed her as a Pullet as a day old chick, but I heard that wasn't very reliable. And she doesn't have a good reputation as an accurate sexer.

Your lavender Orpington is a definite pullet. Looks like mine did at that age. The combs on the lavenders pullets usually stay somewhat black/ yellow until about 20+ weeks.

It's been a couple of weeks. New picture with my split lavender black Orpington. I was sure it was a rooster--feathered out slower, but now I don't know. Roo or Pullet? I really hope my lavender lady is still Pullet.

Thanks for your replies.

could you do a close up of the rump/ saddle feathers? of each bird? it would be very helpful

All the birds in the pics are pullets.
