(Probably) My Last Breed ID

[HonkABC]

Now that they're about 12 weeks, I'd like y'all's opinions on that likely Lavender Orpington. But does this seem to be a pullet or cockerel? I'm leaning pullet now. It's no longer my biggest bird and the comb isn't as bright red as it is on most of my cockerels.

I would say it is a pullet, because it seems to have no pointy saddle feathers or a long tail, but the comb is still throwing me off.

I think it's a cockerel at this point. The comb and wattles are very large for 12 weeks.

Male specific feathering is difficult to determine on lavender birds due to the shredded feathers they often have, and anyway that male feathering can come in later than 12 weeks.
