I'm not sure how I missed the crowing the first time I read it either. The breeder I got my Lavenders from told me missing tails is typically a male trait in Orpingtons (especially the English standard) when I asked her for any tips about sexing mine. I've seen that statement made on BYC too, so I'm assuming she told me correctly. Hopefully someone will tell me if that information was incorrect.
His tail is missing from flock dynamic and spurs develop a bit later.
I also missed the crowing part SOMEHOW!... doubt not, while hens can and do crow... I never had one that young do it.
ALL signs point to cockerel!
Funny to see how many said pullet though! Maybe they missed some of the description like me.
