I got 2 buff Orpingtons I wing sexed. Are they hens? And one has huge breast muscles is that a roo?

Nothing is screaming rooster to me. I'm guessing pullets.

I’m guessing pullets... can you wing sex Orpingtons?

I tried it, hopefully it worked. I did it with an australorp too. Either I am doing it right or I have good luck!

Ok. I though only certain breeds could be wing/ feather sexed? Maybe I’m wrong, I’m pretty new to this chicken thing.

Thinking Pullets! It’s my understanding that no pure breeds can be wing sexed and only some particular crosses with a fast feathering male crossed with a slow feathering female. (Eg. WL roo x RIR hen).
Here is my WLxRIR. Her name is Bukki.

I’ve had a roo & pullets & u can tell the difference at 6wks by size & comb. Those look like pullets IMO.. my buff orph roo was double the size of my pullets from day 2. They sure are cute gals
