Are Buff Orps all hermaphrodites?

I got my buffs 9 weeks ago, so they’re between 9 and 10 weeks. Some days I’m convinced I have all pullets, other days I’m convinced I have a bunch of cockerels. The two smallest and most pullet-like ones love to puff up their feathers and chest bump each other. Three of them are larger and have bigger feet than the other three. I’ll provide pictures of the whole group of 6, and a picture of the most cockerel-looking ones to see what y’all think I’ve got. All of them seem to have similarly red combs, and fairly consistently sized combs, the larger ones have a little bigger wattles, but they’re nothing to shake a stick at yet. The larger ones have more vividly red lobes (I think, at least) and two of the bigger ones have very curved tail feathers, but they’re not sickle shaped (yet...?). The one big one that doesn’t have very curved tail feathers has the biggest waddles out of the whole lot. I’m quite perplexed lol.

I see all pullets. Very pretty flock!

Even pullets have a pecking order that needs to be sorted out

I believe you have all pullets. And it's pretty common to see the females chest bumping and sparring just like the cockerels do.

Thank you! I hope to be able to keep all of them. We can’t have any roosters in town.

I agree. I see no cockerels in those images.
