Hi! I'm a first time chicken owner. I got these from TSC (3 weeks ago this Friday). I know it's early but can anyone tell if they are pullets or cockerels? Thanks
Also I was told Rhode Island reds. Do you think that's correct? The 3 yellow ones are bantams. Silkie, Frizzle and ? Any help would be appreciated!!

I don't know much about RIR's and how they grow up and feather out but #4 does not looks like a RIR with that patterning! and same with #2 since it has white? #3 is not a RIR but perhaps could be a Rhode island white?
It does look like you have a white frizzle and white silkie for sure, thats good <3
As far as genders, silkies take a bit lonfer but I put my vote in the dude catergory. Out of the 4 silkies I hatched a few weeks ago, the smaller crested ones are dudes.
The frizzle looks pretty pullety from this angle, same with what I assumed to be a RIW, and the First RIR. The second RIR and the patterned one have suspicously large combs for that young age.
 
Thank you. They all have different coloring so I wasn't sure. I can't have any roosters!
 
None of them are looking overly suspicious for being a rooster...at this point. Silkies are one of the hardest breed to sex so you'll have to wait several more weeks to be sure (on all of them for that matter).
