Lav Orp 6 to 6.5 weeks.
Not liking the tail feathers I am seeing. This one has a taller comb in than the other

Orps are "slow" maturing breed but beautiful personalities :love
At 6 - 6.5 wks, guessing pullet but at 8wks would be an easier "know" guess. Remember sometimes you can't go by the size of their combs/wattels. I've questioned sex due to the size at times, learning size is not a real deciding factor. Watch the feathering, although male feathering don't really start until 12wks.
