Cockerel or Pullet, opinions please!

[lahelaj]

These two were hatched beginning of August 2024 and are 20 weeks old. Can you tell me if they are male or female? I believe one is a lavender Orpington and the other an Easter Egger. Thank you in advance for your help!

The Lavender Orpington is a cockerel and the Easter Egger is a pullet.

The Easter Egger is a pullet. Not 100%, but I lean cockerel on the Lavender Orpington.

Can you tell me if they are male or female?

I agree with the first poster, though it's a bit challenging to make out the feathers on the lav, I think I see some pointy ones.

Gender specific saddle feather examples from google would be accurate by the stated age..

The Orpington looks like a cockerel, the easter egger looks like a pullet

Feather quality (or the lack thereof) can make gender ID on young lavender birds difficult until they become a bit older.
