What Is this Lavender Sussex ?

I'm thinking Roo? What do you guys think?

How old? I believe it’s actually a Lavender Orpington.

8 weeks - I wish It was! but no Lavender Orpington's in my state yet

At 8 weeks it’s definitely possible that it’s a pullet, but I would wait a few more weeks to be sure.

Yes, how old? It has a small comb and no wattles. If this one is older, I would suspect pullet.

At 8 weeks, my gut says pullet

The only thing that makes me suspect roo is the red tinge. My other pullets have no colouring to them at all yet.

It's not overly red, but another few weeks and you will definitely know. This one just "looks girly" to me as well. Saddle feathers will be making their appearance in 4 -5 weeks. Then you will know for sure.

That red at 8 weeks.... I call cockerel.
