Post Pics Of Orps/ Orpingtons HERE

[Phage]

I have 2 lavender orpingtons that are not related but hatched with 2 days of each other. Are they both boys, both girls of a pair?
They are about 8 weeks old. In real life they look very different, with # 2 having much paler comb etc, but in the pics they both look similar.
Thanks!!
#1

and #2

Thanks, 3 people have said a pair, but I worry that they are boys, even though the second is much less pink.

Phage, they look both like boys. To have that much comb so early.
