I hope you don't get rid of them based solely on the votes here. Folks are sometimes wrong since it is hard to tell accurately from photos and chicken don't all mature at exactly the same rates. Wait until you see more pointy feathers or hear a crow before letting them go. Just my opinion.

I think caution is advised too. I have had buff orps for over a year now and even hatched out my own. I just recently after being sooooo sure it was a pullet (stinker was 4 1/2 months old!!!), sold a roo. I think buff orps are some of the trickiest lil' boogers to sex before it's just plain obvioius...like a crow! haha Maybe that's just me though. I don't claim to be too bright.
