Ok.. so my first time with chickens. Hopefully not doing anything too wrong…
I was suppose to have all pullets, but this lavender Orpington looks very Roo to me
i got 4 different breeds (lavender and buff Orpington, Plymouth Rock, and EE) but they are all 4wks old, brought home the same day.
The brown/golden one is a buff Orpington which is just sooo much smaller with no comb development. Should I still wait a few weeks? Any one else with lavender Orpingtons had a female that looked like this? I’m happy to wait if there’s a chance it’s female, but i can’t have Roosters in my neighborhood
Thanks so much for the help!!
