I have two that I’m really struggling with as well! They are four weeks old, and compared to other breeds I have the same age I’m finding it really difficult to sex them.

Well, the one in the first pic is the one I thought could be a cockerel 😂 I really have no idea, I’m terrible at this.

I have two lavender orpingtons - one is feathering out a bit more slowly than the other, though they both have been much slower than other breeds I have of the same age. Legs look the same, hard to get pics but one comb may be slightly larger and pinker than the other. Any thoughts?

Oh I love Tiramisu 😍 They’re all adorable!

I would love #7 please, named Hamilton

I’m sure you’re not! That’s the one I’m most unsure of as well.

Hatched 5 from this batch, one not pictured is definitely a roo and the other not pictured I’m fairly certain is a pullet. Only keeping two cockerels so trying to figure out who’s on the chopping block so to speak.

Not sure on #2? Thank you for your response!

So exciting!

Come on Napoleon!

Our first ever broody hen with her first hatched chick (from her own egg).

Haven’t seen any more chicks yet, but this little guy sure seems smitten with mama 😍

First appearance!

Goes from addition to multiplication real quick!

Do you have anyone that can at least come check on them while you’re gone? I’m far less experienced than many on here but I wouldn’t leave them alone for that long. Too many things that could go wrong.

We had our first (and second and third…) go at incubating our own eggs! The first round (incubator) are about 4 weeks old, the second round (incubator) just over a week old, and the third (under our first ever broody) due to hatch Tuesday or Wednesday. It’s been a lot of fun! I also bought some...

Awww poor peach. Glad everyone that hatched is doing well!

She’s a backyard mix, I’ve never heard of fibro Easter egger, I’ll check that out!

Forgot to update, but we had a huge power outage this week - all the eggs are now under broody Becky 🙏 Candled a few when I gave them to her and they were looking great! Expecting to see some chicks Tuesday or Wednesday.
