Im not an expert on orps, and Im certain someone will disagree with me, but those look like hens to me. I am saying that based on rounded feathers. generally speaking, roos have pointed feathers, esp on their tails and hackles

EDIT: then again, that first one has a pretty big, red comb and wattle. How old are they ? Maybe that will help someone with more buff orp knowledge make a better judgement than I

Both girls. Roosters by 14 weeks will have larger combs/wattles and have their saddle feathers in.

I think you are going to be eating eggs.

Wow, my 14 week old BO's still have very pink combs. One did do the squat the other day when I walked by her in the run...was surprised.
