Pictures with a natural stance would be easier, but here are my guesses:

1. cockerel
2. pullet
3. pullet?
4. cockerel
5. pullet

#4 is the only suspect on my list of being a cockerel, but as the PP stated, standing would be a better pose. #5 is definitely a pullet. I guess I'm questioning everyone else... a wee bit.

Do Orpingtons really get that much red at such a young age? I would of guessed 5 is the only pullet.

I don't doubt that my guesses are unreliable. I can see what you mean about the red.

3 and for are most defintly roosters hands down.The rest are pullets.1 may be a roo.And 2 is a hen.

 

[troy4]

5 is a pullet. 2 is a pullet.1 is a pullet.3 and 4 are roosters.

I've had experience with this as well.The roosters form a nice comb and wabbles.See only 4 has nice wabbles.Also the feathering on number3 gives it away.Its tails clearly a curly and it looks like its wetted 1 clue.And its wabbles and combs.

And both number 3 and for are very large.

I know number 5 is a pullet.I know for a fact number 3 is a rooster.
