Are these Lavender Orpingtons males? I have a couple others that I’m sure are pullets and their combs are much smaller and not as pink. They are 7 weeks old.

Only one of them in the pictures looks like a cockerel.
I was about to get rid of them because I have to many males. That one is definitely a cockerel it’s the other 3 I wasn’t sure about. Here’s a couple close up pictures. Do they still look like pullets?

Both look like pullets to me.
 
These are about 13 weeks now and I’m still not convinced they are pullets lol. Their combs are a lot bigger and redder than my 2 that I’m certain are pullets. Opinions?

For comparison here are the 2 that are the same age that I’m sure are pullets.
