Buff Orpington - pullets / cockerel(s)?

[chickadee777]

I have 6 BOs which are about 14 weeks old. Got them sexed at TSC but apparently that doesn't always mean much.

I'm wondering if two of them are roosters, but especially the one I have pictured in the coop. The tail feathers seem a bit longer and thinner, the neck feathers look a bit finer, and the comb/wattles are more red and prominent.

But hopefully I'm wrong and they're all hens because we couldn't keep a roo.

The one with the bigger comb that is more red than the rest, is your cockerel. The rest look like pullets to me. But kinda hard to tell one bird from the next, from picture to picture.

Mine for example.

Yours is a masculine pullet?

Five pullets and one cockerel is what I see, how old are they?

Yes.
It's an older picture. She's now grown up as a hen.

They're 3+ months old / 14 weeks old.

This is a tough one! The coloring is uneven and deeper on the back/shoulders, and the comb and wattles are both large and bright red. Those are signs of it being a cockerel. On the other hand, there is no male specific feathering and the legs look pretty slim. If it was me, I would wait another 2 or 3 weeks and then re-evaluate. No sense in possibly giving away a pullet. Orpington cockerels sometimes take a long time before it is clear that they are male. Not often, but I've seen it happen a few times on here.

All pullets

This one has hackle feathers. And no saddle but I’d guess in a week or two they’d show up. As for the bright red one I want to say maybe fast developing pullet? I’ve heard people having BO that have laid as soon as 16 weeks so maybe that explains the comb/wattle. I’d keep an eye on that one though.
