Sexing 4 Month Old English Lavender Orpingtons

[Roger597]

Hello!!

I have 5 VERY sweet lavender orps that are my favorite birds of my entire flock. They were hatched very early January and I was wondering if you guys could help me sex them.

(The birds missing bands slipped them )

Very early January? So they're about 12-13 weeks old? I would say the 2nd and 5th one pictured are pullets. #1, #3, #4 look like cockerels.

Side note: the 3rd one pictured does not look like orpington. Looks like a mix to me. Maybe some silke or Easter egger mixed in.

Agreed

Also, #3 has a beard, so maybe an EE mix?
