My Pet chicken will reimburse your purchase if it is a rooster and you paid extra for sexing. I would check it out. My roosters all crowed between 12 and 15 weeks. Your Buff Orp looks like a rooster to me. The pullets combs do not turn cherry red until they ovulate. The roosters combs likewise turn cherry red when they are mature. The early crows are not polished and sound odd at first until the roo gets the hang of it. I hope you are not forced to rehome it if you have a rooster but if you do you should know pretty soon. I have heard Buff orp roosters tend to be really nice so I shall keep my fingers crossed for you.
