I know this might be a bit early, but these are from an assortment of random hatching eggs from Meyer Hatchery that hatched 8 weeks ago. I suspect 2 of them might be cockerels (I posted a 3rd one earlier that was determined to be a pullet).

The first 2 pictures are of my Partridge Cochin and the next two are of what I think is a Lavender Orpington.

The partridge cochin is a cockerel but I am not super sure about the Lavender Orp. I have heard that females orpingtons can develop faster than other breeds. @cherrynberry what do you think?

Cochin is a cockerel. The lavender orp seems to have a little too much comb growth in my opinion...hard to say, but an update would be good. I lean male for him though. But still slightly on the fence.
 
Here they are at 12 weeks, and I am now absolutely 100% sure they are both Cockerels. They have made any grown up noises yet, but I am looking forward to it!
