What are we? 5 week old orpingtons?

Good Morning. I adopted these babies at 3 and a half weeks I was told they were black orpingtons but they are getting some white feathering at least on their wings I am curious if they look like Orpingtons to someone better familiarized with the breed? Also if they look like pullets or cockerels? Thank you <3

Welcome to BYC.

Black chickens commonly have a few white feathers on their wings as chicks. They turn out all black when they complete their final juvenile molt.

This ^^.

As for breed and gender, they look right for Orps. They could also potentially be Australorp. Time will tell. To me they look like Orps.

They are still too young to accurately sex. Post updated pics of combs and wattles, at 6-8 weeks.
