Here's a picture of my 3 BLGWs that I got from a chicken swap 5 weeks ago. Any guesses on gender? One has much less gold and darker comb/wattle than the other two. They are Ariana Chickè, Hen Stefani, and Chikki Minaj.

All of these chicks turned out to be roos. We kept one.
 
Not babies, but if you look up a couple of posts you can clearly see how roosters will feather out darker and more muddy than pullets. At about 8 weeks it should be quite apparent.
 
May I ask about my GLW's here? I've got 3 that I bought from a feed store, so hatchery chickens for sure. Out of the three there is one that has less gold on the head/neck and holds its tail feathers high. The other two are more gold on the head/neck and keep the tail feathers pointing down/low.

[edited to add that they're approx 9 1/2 weeks old]

These first 5 pics are all the same bird, the one that holds the tail feathers up high.











These next ones are the other two....they look pretty much identical. Tail feathers low and more gold on the necks.





(In this pic below the one on top is the same from the first 5 pics above.)





Can anyone tell the sexes for me?

They look like all pullets. This boy was about 4 months here, you can see how the roosters feather out differently.
