I have 9 chicks total and have no idea how to sex a chick. But watching videos and reading other info, it kind of looks like most of these are pullets? What are y'alls thoughts? Don't have great pics but it's best I got at the moment. TIA

Too young, repost pics at 8wks. Orpingtons are late bloomers, Cockerels combs & wattles with grow bigger & redder than the Pullets. Repost individual pic showing their comb/wattles, side & back. They are CUTE!

These are mine when I got them at 8wks, there weren't in good condition. I should've but couldn't leave them. They're now healthy & laying ...

I think this is a cockerel...???
This looks like a cockerel. . Red comb. It also appears in the 2nd photo with the 4 chicks in a corner.. the chick in the very front of them standing tall also has a pretty pink comb so looks like at least 2 roos so far. I saw lots of pullets, but it' hard to tell if it' the same chicks I'm looking at or different chicks between all the pics.
 
just a suggestion i would put your water and food off the floor, may be add a brick under it, just so the shredded paper don't get into the water. lovely looking birds. :love
