The legs are the wrong color for an Orpington. Maybe a rock, but I bet both of them are crosses of some kind.

I think the first one is a Buff Orpington, and I bet its a pullet. As for the other one Im not sure amybe just a mutt? but not and EE , dont ee's ahve green/olive colored feet? Mine does and also have poofy cheeks,called muffs right?(oh and I dont think its a roo, but its hard to tell on them. Not a buttercup, their combs look kinda like a "V" good luck! they are cute.

there is no standard for an EE. It was probably an EE crossed with something else and it looks to definitely be a roo. At that young age, still with fuzz, to have a pea comb that big and red screams cockeral.....
just to note, not all EE's have muffs/beards, heck some true ameraucana don't have beard/muff, I have 2

(in my laying flock, not the breeders)

Something about the yellow chick just doesn't look orpington-ish to me. Dont know what she is though other than a cutie, and the other one I have no Idea.

Yellow legs = not Orpington...maybe sex link? Lucky you on the new peeps and the smart renter to not integrate with the others until they pass quarantine!

my guess too...

I would say an amber sex-link pullet on the first one (I have one just like it) and I have to say the second is a roo. In my experience (with my 20 7-weekers) pea combs that broad and red so early will turn out to be roos. My ameraucanas/ee's have combs just like that so maybe it's an ee after all?

Oh, someone said on here that with pea combs if it has 3 lines (like yours does) it often ends up being a roo. That was the case with two of mine.

eta: I know you didn't ask but I would say around 5.5 - 6 weeks on age.

Really? My BO is 4 weeks and she looks almost the same in feather-wise.

yes, it is more the rule than the exception though

there are those few girls that get them (I have a lav ameraucana I would have bet money was a cockeral, surprise!)
but with the size, fullness and color of that I don't have any doubts
