Buff, Lavender & Gold Laced Orpington Gender/ sexing help

[Jennyhen890]

Hi everyone,

Orpington chicks approx 4 1/2 weeks. I know it’s early but I’m impatient I have numbered the pictures, (pink if I think pullet, blue if cockerel- yes I am being very optimistic!) Please help with your wisdom on sexing these birds. Thanks everyone Jen

5, 6, 10, 11 and 12 look to be cockerels. 7, 8, and 9 could go either way but leaning more cockerel. 1, 2, and 3 are pullets.

Thank you for your help Rose. I don’t have much luck with my pullet/ cockerel ratio when hatching
