Okay. Thanks!
I still think the Orpington is a boy... But time will tell.

The Orpington is a coin toss, very well could be a cockerel. Ditto, time will tell.

The pictures in the link TOC posted are good. Wait until they're a little older, then get a good close up look at their hackle and saddle feathers.

The Orp is a cockerel.

Wyandotte pullets can have red combs at a young age. It's the nature of the comb type. Single comb pullets will never have red until point of lay.
