6 week old buff Orpington.

She looks like a hen to me

I agree, looks like a pullet

I'm on the fence, there is a lot of coloring in that comb for 6 weeks. I would give that one a couple more weeks.

I think it's too young to tell.

Orpingtons are a little slower to mature, I've noticed, so it's pretty early yet to know for sure. However, I must agree that's a lot of pink for so young a bird.

Roo is my vote.

It's really helpful to have pics of both the comb AND the tail. A lot of breeds are hard to tell by just the comb (Buckeyes, for instance). But in combination with a more uneven, frizzly tail and more reddish comb/wattles, it's easier to tell.
