This is a flipping cockerel isnt it???

[J99]

I have four lavender orpingtons and 4 Olive eggers
All sold to me as pullets
They are like almost 7 weeks old now and getting their little combs but there’s one I’m sure is male
What do you think???

At that age, yes. Certainly a cockerel.

Contact the seller and let them know that one of their pullets turned out to be a cockerel.

Yep, cockerel. I agree with @Overo Mare. If they were sold to you as pullets "especially guaranteed pullets" I'd contact the seller.

It’s ok I don’t mind , I can keep two Roos but I have a mama setting on five eggs
So I sure want to limit them

 

[Painted Calls]

I'm glad that you can keep him. I hope he works out well for you.

The reason I mentioned contacting the seller though would be about getting what you paid for. I'm not sure what price you paid for pullets, but with my chickens there is a $25-$30 difference between a pullet and a cockerel. While I have the space to keep them, I don't want to pay a pullet price for a cockerel.

Just my 2 cents.

Definitely a boy but he should be handsome at least.

 

[ShrekDawg]

Maybe even more handsome if he’s show quality or anything as mine is just hatchery and also only 6 months old but I think he’s handsome

Hopefully yours will be too!!

He’s cute!!

Most places as far as I know only have a 90% guarantee on gender so sometimes one sneaks in. Not sure if that applies to individuals or not though. Every one is different.
