Does this look like a boy to you?

This Buff Orpington came from TSC at the same time as the Wellbars and the Lavender and the other Buff. It grew a comb a week or two ago. We have 2 separate flocks at the moment. There are a group of hens living outside and a mixed group of sort of "teens", ducks, and chicks living together inside the brooder. The Buff in question is the clear "head" of the indoor flock and is very dominant with even the outdoor chickens when we bring them together (though not attacking them or anything, just being far less afraid of them, posturing some, and showing off by establishing order over all the younger ones when in the presence of the older ones.) As it's supposedly the same age as the others and only the Lavender Orpington has a bit of a comb and the Buff's comb is way brighter and bigger, it's making us wonder if the supposed pullet was misidentified and we've actually got an up and coming rooster? So what do you think?

I think that Buff Orpington is a male.
