I have 6 orpingtons and 6 austrolops they are 5 weeks old but I can only be sure of 2 roos. Does anyone spot more? I don't want to give away a hen... sorry the pictures are hard to see

I don't really see anything that screams "Rooster"...... Orpington hens tend to have larger combs than most hens
 
I'm not seeing anyone screaming rooster. I'm also not seeing buff Orpingtons. Not sure what the brown chicks are, but not buff Orps.

I agree. Buff Orpingtons are a solid creamy caramel color. Idk what those are.

ETA - in the third photo - the light bird farthest to the right/top may be a BO - can you get an individual shot of that bird? That bird also appears to have some rather pink comb/wattle, but it's hard to see in this photo

There are 2 that are very different (top right of the 3rd pick) big red comb and wattle but the others are close but not quite there. I'm going to hold on to my maybes and wait another 2-3 weeks? I was told they were Orpingtons but not necessarily Buff Orpingtons.
