I'm thinking pullet...most of the photos it looks like a pullet with only #3 and #4 making wonder due to possibly some spiky feathers and a bit of blush in the comb.

Probably pullet, but this one may be a wait and see.

I agree, but I would definitely keep an eye on that comb. If it reddens up over the next few weeks, you will know you have a cockerel.
 
I've been torn as to whether it's a slow developing cockerel or a fast developing pullet. The two cockerels' combs and wattles came on like gangbusters a couple weeks ago. The two pullets have no color to their combs and just barely visible wattles even now. The tweener...geez. I'll just be patient and let it tell me what it wants to be. No need to pressure it into a decision. That wouldn't be psychologically healthy...
