Orpington hen or rooster?

[richred1]

All my Orpingtons were a straight run and I'm trying to determine what they all are. I'm leaning towards hen on these but not sure at all.

The one on the right looks like a hen, not as sure about one on left. ok your pics moved in my reply, the one who's whole body is showing looks like a hen.

How old are your birds? That is key in assessing certain characteristics.
Can you post clear side shots showing the entire bird and number them so that we know which bird we are looking at/responding for given they look so similar?

They look like pullets to me.

Pullet. My orp boys looked like this at that age:

Thank you!!!! That's exactly what I was looking for-a comparison!!! I'm now thinking the other 2 could be cockrels. When I get home and if they cooperate I will post pics of them.

The big SIGN for me was wattles. The pullets often had combs, and their wattles were often RED, but they were not large.

The tails were also different:
