I've got buff orpington chicks and don't have a clue at 4 months who's who. Some have redder tints in thier small wattles and cheeks. Are these the roos? I'll try to post pics in the am...
 
Last year I got Buff Orpingtons and ordered all pullets. Thinking I would get a roo or two. Some had bigger combs and wattles. None turned red or pink. All girls! I couldn't belive it. Buff orp pullets combs will stay yellow to yellowish peach until point of lay. Now that I have a BO roo his comb and wattles are huge compared to the girls. Here is a picture of him at 16 weeks.

His comb and wattles are even bigger now.
 
Yes, compared to your handsome boy I've hatched all girls! Doing the happy dance that everyone can stay! Now I've got to hope for at least one roo in the ones I hatched two weeks ago..... searching tomorrow...
