buff orpington pullet or roo?

[LaPetiteFarmer]

Sorry about the quality, it was just so hard to get a good shot of it. I hope it's sufficient to determine the gender. As for the age I don't really know... maybe 3 months old (I bought it August 20th and it was at least a month old) ?
Thanks

Looks like a pullet.

I am gonna say cockerel. I have 2 BO pullets and they did not have wattles come in til 5 months old at POL, also yours has the darker wing feathers and what look like the long saddle feathers coming in. Closer pics of comb/wattles and saddle feathers would really help though.

100% pullet. Orps are easy to tell very early. My rooster had his comb from a very early age.

With the other roo, your BO may develop a little slower and be a Beta roo. May not even crow, I still am leaning on cockerel though. Especially with the growth of the comb and wattles like it has for a 2-3mo old. My BO's did not have wattles come in until about a week before first egg, at 4 1/2mo old.
