I know this is asked often and most people say it is too early to know for certain. I’m not asking for 100% certainty but just a best guess from those who are experienced on whether or not this buff orp is a rooster or a hen. We have 2 and they are drastically different.

The one with the larger comb is the loudest of all of the chicks, seems to be the most “aggressive” in that it goes after the others, is the first at the cage door to peck at me, comb is largest and has a pink hue.. pics 1556 and 1557 are what I think is a rooster…

Males will generally get a pink comb by 5 weeks. Pullets will remain a yellow orange. Behaviors isn't always indicative of sex.
