Roo or hen?

[Lovelylegs]

I am a new chicken mom and I have 2 beautiful lavender orpingtons that I love but I can’t tell if we are seeing a roo in at least 1 of them. Can any of you all see anything that would suggest Roo? They are both around 8-9 weeks old maybe a week older. I got them from the farm store in the middle of may.

Looks like a hen to me based on the body shape.

Both of them look male?

Both of them? The first pic one has a bigger comb and waddles for sure than the second and is bigger. And the one in the first pic is a bit more aggressive out of the whole group.
