Sexing a chick

BTW looks like a cockerel to me ( young male)

Unless you vent check, it is really a little soon to determine the sex of a 4 week old chick. They really need more feathers and noticible "buttons" on the inside of each leg where the spur will grow before declaring this chick is a rooster.

That being said its a lovely Lavendar Orpington.

Are all the chicks Orpington? Size by comparison is helpful too.

No I have a blonde buff and two black Australorps. But they are older they are 6 weeks older and have hardly any combs or waddles. And much larger.

Hi and welcome to BYC!
I'm sorry, but I have to agree with the majority, it's very likely you have a little cockerel.
