Roo or Hen? Lavendar Orpingtons

[Shoemacl]

Hi all, I purchased 6 chickens from Cheseapeake Hatchery beginning of March. They’re now about 2.5 months old. To my disappointment the seller already confirmed that the BBS Black Ameraucana and Barred Rock are likely roosters, but now I’m beginning to suspect that the 2 Lavendar Orpingtons are as well. What do you all think?

The black bird is a cockerel. He is not an Ameraucana and potentially an Australorp. Your barred bird is also a cockerel but likely a mixed breed as he appears to be single copy barred. Your Lavender Orpingtons are also cockerels but do look to be better quality than many hatchery birds at least
