Here are a few pics of two different Buff Orps. Hens or roos? If you think they're roosters, please tell me why. I'm new to this and am trying to get better at identifying the genders. Thanks.

Assuming pic 1 - 3 are of one bird, 4 - 6 the second in question...
I've got 4 BO 27wks, one started laying Sept 30, still waiting on the rest. Your birds got more comb/wattles than mine & alot redder but just can't make out IF it's saddle/hackle feathering I'm thinking I see. Pic 1 - 3 looks Cockerel Pic 4 - 6 possible Pullet
Could you get a closer pic of both, side view like pic #6 stance? Update us when you get hear the crow or get the egg :pop
 
I'll get better pics tomorrow. I actually have three and I can hardly tell them apart. I saw one crowing yesterday but didn't have my phone handy. Now I can't figure out which one it was. I was trying to discern the saddle and hackle feathering, too. Both saddle and hackle feathers looked pointed on all three of them.
