The buff orpington is a pullet, do you have a few more pictures of the green queen?

Both are females.

Imma be that person and say that orp is a cockerel at 4 months way to much red on that comb. The other is a pullet

I also think the Buff Orpington is a cockerel.

I’d say both pullets! If the orp was a cockerel he’s have major saddle feathers and you’d be able to tell. And judging on how red the comb is, you may start to see eggs from her soon.

Hi, hope you're enjoying BYC!

I love seeing varied opinions! Now I'ma give mine.. which is both are pullets, I see NO pointy saddles on the buff. I do agree it's a lot of red, but different lines may mature quicker than others.

Starting around 12 weeks but well by 16 weeks is when gender specific saddle feathers are coming on non hen feathered breeds. Example from google..

Sometimes pattern can make rounded feathers LOOK pointy. Putting your hand or a sheet of paper behind may help discern true shape.

Had you already noticed the cross beak on your GQ/EE? It often gets worse with age, so consider looking into it if you haven't already.
