BBS English Orpington chicks...gender guesses?

[ADPNRSP]

First two pictures are Chick A

Last two pictures are Chick B

These little ones hatched on Thanksgiving Day, so they are almost two months old. This is my first time with this breed, and I am dying to know of I have pullets or cockerels! Any guesses?? Thanks in advance!!

First female, second for sure a male.

Looks like you have a Pullet, & a Cockerel.

Thank you for your input! I go back and forth with these two. What makes you sure about bird number 2 (blue)?

The dark blue wing patches and comb. Females never have those dark, patchy, “saddles go here” patches.

Thanks so much for your input! The first one has a pinker comb than the second, and I think that is what has had me convinced that it is a boy. I will be so happy if I have one of them end up a pullet!

I do think you have a girl there.
Or a slower boy.

You're welcome.

That is fascinating! I have never heard that. Interestingly, this baby was hatched in our coop by one of my Cuckoo Marans hens. He was scalped by my "sweet" Cream Legbars (I think), and we rehabilitated him. So, if he's a boy, he will be a very special one. I didn't realize that tidbit about the coloring...I was just so happy to see that he had grown feathers over his injury! LOL
