Urgent! What sex? 11 weeks old. The hatchery will take back the Roos

[Gwenmjm]

Hi
Can someone help me out with these lovely Lavender Orpingtons? It appears I received a mixed run of chocolate and lavenders. I asked for pullets, mixed communication, but the hatchery will take back the males and replace the 7 males out of my dozen. I’ve nailed down the chocolates but the lavenders have me scratching my head.

Lavenders are really hard to sex, imo. The only one I think stands out is 1, but don't take my word for it, i really can't tell.

All three look like boys

I'm seeing all cockerels.

I’m thinking all cockerels as well. I was just hoping that the chicks with the lighter colored wattles and comb might be pullets

All boys.

I was able to get in touch with the local hatchery from where I purchased the batch. They are taking the boys back! I will miss them but we can’t have any crowing in my neighborhood. It seems there was some “ misunderstanding”..Hatchery said sounds “like you got a mixed run”. I know I asked for pullets! Thanks to all for commenting. You are the best! I’m a first time Chicken Mama and this group has been my lifeline

Update: the cockerels were returned to the hatchery today and I ended up coming back home with 2 of 8. The breeder really thinks that the # 2 lavender is a pullet along with the chocolate Orpington pictured here. I sure hope he is right!
