Hey there I am new at this! I removed 2 roosters already and now the waddles and combs of the others are rapidly growing. Not sure what I have anymore I know they are blue splash and black orpingtons! Any help would be appreciated! They were all born april 11th this year
 
the splash and the blue behind it in the last pic look like cockerels at 4.5 months
 
I know orpingtons can be slow to mature but I'm not seeing anything screaming roo. This is the age when hens start to mature and get red combs and wattles as they reach point of lay. Closer pics of each bird would help.

Look at "My Birds" on my profile. I have a Splash Orp hatched on April 2. So he is exactly same age and yours look nothing like him. His comb is over 1" high and wattles are nearly 2" and ear lobes are as long as wattles. I have 2 Buff Orps that are 4 weeks younger and are just now starting to get wattles and combs growing.

Sorry, Not in "My Birds", but in "breeds" Pics of all my kids there
 
Here are some updated closer pictures! Thank you all for the opinions I wish more people would tell me what they think tho! Still no crowing which started in the other splash I had over a month ago but I already got rid of him. this is his sibling tho








 
I am leaning heavily toward pullet. The comb and wattles are about the same size as my BO pullets. And the lack of vertical tail feathers and no long pointed saddle feathers looks like a pullet.
 
still no crowing a few people i talked to at walla walla county fair in the chicken barn says she is almost certain if they are not crowing by now then I am safe! Now waiting for eggs!
