Buff Orpingtons gender?

[BeccaDoe]

Hi, all!
Firstly, I have seven lovely chicks that I got from Meyer's as a sexed as female group. Two of them are Buff Orpingtons.
It's six weeks in and Dorothy and DT don't look the same. I'm worried Dorothy might not be a lady. Her comb is larger, much redder, and she has noticeable wattles. So I took pictures of them both. The first three pictures are Dot. The second three are Deets. (And a bonus image of my calico, much enamored with the towel the girls were on.)
Please tell me it's normal for pullets to look different, even if the same breed. We really weren't planning on keeping a roo.

Dorothy is a cockerel

Oh, dear. Maybe I should think of a new name... and how to convince Da to let me keep her/him.

I'm curious. Is it because of how bright the comb is? Or do you see other things, too?

It's the comb. They don't look old enough for any other obvious signs in a self colored chicken. Legs are thick too but the comb is the obvious sign

Yes I have 2 Buffs & they are identical & did not get any kind of comb until they were 3 or 4 months. So cute though!! Don't tell Da-see how long it takes them to figure it out themselves-LOL
