Need Help Identifying Buff Orpington Gender

[MariyaJee]

Hello,
I would really appreciate some help in determining wether my 4.5 month old buff orpington is a cockerel or a pullet. It has some spurs growing and relatively large comb and waddle (from what I can tell at least, but I'm no expert) which are quite red. But I have heard a hen's comb and waddle become red when she is close to laying and hens can also grow spurs. There are also no roosters in the flock so maybe that is why she possesses male characteristics? Sorry in advance for the excess pictures but this is very important!

Pullet

Pullet. I see no male characteristics at all. All chickens have spur buds.

her comb and waddle will turn really red when she is about to lay and she will start squatting when you touch her back

I was worried when our brown chicken turned really red and the other one didn't

It's funny, I can see her face and comb changing colors in the photos. Our Buffs will change face, comb and waddle colors from pale pink to dark red right in front of our eyes. We have also figured out that when they get red spotty stripes down the side of their legs, they just laid an egg.

They are great birds

I will have to watch their legs.
We have two one is lighter color then the others. She just laid her first egg today and was so happy with the egg song
