Generally the boys will pink up between 4-6 weeks, than turn red by 8 weeks. Females will remain orange longer, but may take on a pink tinge.

In my experiences with lavender Orpingtons the females can pink up early and confuse you. Give them a few weeks. My blue Orpington rooster has a prominent comb at almost 5 weeks. All of yours have smaller combs currently.

They're still a little too young for me to tell yet, can you post more pictures in a few weeks? They're super cute

Beautiful birds...the one on the far left in the last pic looks to be a cockerel. His comb looks redder and bigger...and his legs look bulky compared to the others. But they are young and a lot can happen in a few weeks!! Repost in a couple of weeks!!
