1 is a buff Orpington the other is an EE both are 8 weeks old. What do you think?

8 weeks old? You have a pair. Male buff, female EE. I'm 100% on the buff, might be wrong on the EE as they really aren't my thing.

Yep I was pretty sure about the buff as well lol. The EE I still have my fingers crossed

EEs can be tricky to sex, and sometimes it takes longer to be sure.

EE is female...would be much redder in comb at 8wks if male.

Love the title of your thread, made me giggle! Pretty birds you have there too.

Your EE could keep you guessing for a while. My EE roo had everyone but me guessing pullet and I had to base it on behavior as they grew. Physical characteristics weren't obvious, even in comb and wattles. The feathers are what finally gave him away.
Also, my friendliest chick was an EE, she lays beautiful green eggs. Het roo brother was a scared little whiney thing that later became human aggressive. So friendly isn't necessarily an early indicator.
Good luck!
