Lavender Orpington Chick - Roo or Pullet?

[AVW]

I received two lavender orpingtons when they were 2 weeks old and I think they may both be Roos... I would appreciate any feedback! One of the below images is the little chick at 2 weeks and the second is at 3.5 weeks. After reviewing photos of this breed, I think they may have been older than what I was told when I received them...

Roo or Pullet? Thank you! This is Ollie and he/she is one friendly bird!!

Is it the redness that gives it away? The female hens seem to have wattles, but I have no idea when they develop.

Yep. Pullets only get wattles and a comb like that right before laying. Around 16+ weeks. I'm sorry

Thank you all for your responses! My significant other wants to hang onto them for a couple of more weeks to be sure... but I think I am going to start the rehoming process. I want to be sure they are backyard birds and not dinner. Hopefully, because they are a somewhat rare-ish breed, we can find them good homes.

definitely a cockerel... I have a 4mo old lavender/blue orpington that is supposed to be a female and there is no red in her comb so far.
