Orpingtons can be very slow to show sex characteristics. I'm a little concerned that the combs are pink at this point, but the legs are quite thin, so I think they are likely pullets. But definitely get more opinions and post again in a couple of weeks if you can.

I was thinking the same. Chick 2 has bigger legs than chick 1 but I’m still not sure.

Chick 2 looks more like it could be a cockerel, but I still think the legs are the key here and they're both girls. Let's see what others have to say.

I think the first is a pullet, and the second a cockerel at this age.

You could well be right. Very hard to tell with Orps sometimes.

I’d say rose pullet and Blanche cockerel maybe pic of the two together for comparisons? But the comb on the 2nd looks a bit rosy to me.

There are some more and I’ll try to get them together today. Rose is the light one and Blanche is the darker one.
Thank you

What I have noticed is they have the same feather patterns since 1 week old..... if that makes a difference.
