Too young to tell, but leaning towards cockerel.

Probably pullet.

Leaning towards cockerel. Buff Orpingtons can be quite difficult to sex, so post some more photos in a few weeks.

I'd post some more photos in a few weeks to tell for sure. Some of your breeds, like the Brahama and the Orpingtons, often mature slowly, so it can be difficult to tell their gender until they are older.
