Need help identifying gender of Orps

I have another splash with little comb but looks like it's developing saddle feathers but it's legs aren't as thick as the one I have the pic of so I guess I need to give that one more time. LOL
 
I would agree they are roos, but with that small of a comb, I would wager a bet they are not pure orpington. Unless someone is breeding for cold climate, the combs should not be that tiny. In all of my years of breeding orpingtons, I have never seen anything like that. My buff orps have bigger combs at only 7-8 weeks old. Just my observation.

Here are some pics for comparison.

These are baby orp cockerels at 8 weeks old.

And a 5 month old cockerel:

I agree. They are really tiny. Are they pea combs? I can't even see the points on them.

I agree too. Looking at the pictures again the combs are really small. I havent had any of my Orpingtons with combs that tiny for that age.
