Any updated guesses? We’re going into their 7th week! View attachment 2147179View attachment 2147180View attachment 2147181View attachment 2147182

Any updates? I have one Lavender Orpington and one Starlight Green Egger as well. Both are 8 weeks old. My Starlight is all gold and yellow though.

Hey! I know this is older but I have a question about your Starlight Green Egger. We have a 2 week old SGE chick that we are suspecting is a roo based on behavior. Did yours act more aggressive as a chick, too? It’s always chest bumping the others and rushes up to us when we pick any up.

The Egger is questionable. I'm thinking possible cockerel, but not sure.

Looks like a girl to me but the orpington is tricky.

That's common behavior for males and females, and shouldn't be used to determine sex.

I agree .My Yokma did that when she was young but she grew up to be a girl now laying even my little americana Stella did that but guess what she was a girl. You cannot ausme gender by behavior.
