14 week old Buff Orpington

That’s a big red comb but nothing else says male, and that fat bootie says female
Exactly this. That's a bit of a red face for that age so I'd say rooster, but that tush suggests hen. I think it's a wait and see if it starts crowing or keeps growing it's fluffy orpington bustle. Tushies are a trait of this breed's hen, Orpington ladies got back.

Yes this! 😆 And if you look at the one with two in photos their backends look the same . I'd say she's an early layer.
