15 week Buff Orpington hen or roo???

here’s a picture of one of my BO girls for comparison, she’s a little over 15 weeks old, her comb and wattles are a lot smaller and less red. we could both have pullets maturing at different rates though haha.

Cute photo! Wow she looks different than both of my BO’s who are around the same age. Now I’m feeling very confused.]
 
At 16 and a half weeks I am starting to wonder again. This chicken’s comb and wattles are much bigger and redder than my other Buff Orpington and it looks like she has darker hackle feathers. I still do not see saddle feathers and she has not crowed at all but is a little more friendly and “talkative” than my other 3 chickens. Does any anyone think this could possibly be a rooster? Still really hoping it’s a no but she keeps making me wonder.
Pullet. Close to laying.
I have a buff cockerel that's 13 weeks. He has huge wattles and comb. Also saddle feathers. At 16 weeks you would have saddles... Here's my cockerel...
