Are these chicks buff orpingtons? Gender?

[silverchick_161]

These are some of the chicks I got from a straight run of brown egg layer assortment from Meyer Hatchery. I have 4 buff colored ones that look similar. They were all very slow to feather compared to my other chicks. They are 6 weeks old. 3 of them are getting larger combs and starting to get red wattles, while the other is more subtle.

They do appear to be buff Orpingtons.
I won't guess on gender at that age.

Yes, the barred rock has made it known he is a roo and he rules the roost at this point lol. I figured too early to guess on gender, but good to get some opinions on the breed at least!

I will have to second that. I’ll wait a couple of weeks before guessing. OP, repost in 3 weeks for more guesses.

Update on the buff orpingtons. Some have cockerel behavior but I think there is at least one that doesn't. It's hard for me to tell them apart.
