Is this a Buff Orpington Cockrel

[nurturingnaturally]

We have 9 BO chicks that are at least 4 weeks old, and some may be closer to 6 weeks (from the bin at the feedstore 4 weeks ago). # of them I think may be males, but this one seems super obvious to me, am I right? He stands much more erect/velociraptor-like, and has way way way more comb than the "girls", and it is RED. Also, he has waddles starting and none of the others do really, as well as the waddles being very red. His tail still isn't as long as any of the "girls" and started feathering in 2weeks later. So here are some pics, what do you think?

That is a cockerel.

Looks like the beginning of a little roo-man! I once had BO roos and they are so stunningly beautiful. The contrast between the red comb/wattles and the golden feathers is SO striking!

That's alright, just glad I was right, lol. THe two others that look roo-ish to me aren't so so red as this one, but I think one for sure is a week/two younger.
