A friend and I split an order of 15 chicks from Murray McMurray that was supposed to include Aracaunas, Barred Rocks, Cuckoo Marans, Black Polish, Samon Faverolles, Silver Laced Wyandottes, and Speckled Sussex. A total of 18 chicks showed up, and we're not sure which is which or whether we actually got females as promised. Here are the six that my broody silkie adopted, they're about six weeks old, thoughts? Below are my best guesses.

I think this is the silver-laced Wyandotte. Comb had me worried it's a roo.

Obviously the polish, but how on earth do you tell these apart?

Thanks!!
 
Ok, thanks. I felt pretty confident the barred rock was a cockerel. The last rock I tried to get was also a roo, and he looked just the same. I'm crossing my fingers about the SLW. I guess time will tell!
