Breed and Gender???

I was told these were buff Orpington hens. Anyone think otherwise??? Thanks in advance

They certainly look like buff orpingtons I've had in the past from mcmurray.

Look like Orps to me... they have white feet, which means they're not Buff Rocks. How old?

I'm not sure, I bought them from a sale, they aren't laying yet so I would guess, 3-4 months maybe. Do they look like hens to y'all?

If they're that old, then they look like pullets near point of lay to me. The one with the red comb looks like she could start laying any day now.

What they don't seem to have is the fluffiness (for lack of a better word) that Orps are supposed to have. They seem very slim to me. Maybe a better Orpington person could comment? I haven't had Orps for years now and can't remember how slim the pullets are.
