ROO OR HEN?

[Njdavol2]

Hello! I am new to backyard chicken keeping. I ordered sexed females. This lavender Orpington is looking a bit like a cockerel. Do you think this is a roo or a hen?

Hi, how old are they? The orpington does look cockerel? Where's did you order from? Many places don't even offer sexed orpingtons since they are so fluffy they get the sex wrong, so I'm surprised

Hi, how old are they?

They look no older than 10 weeks to me.

I got them when they were one day old from Meyers Hatchery.
