Another gender question

This is my first year with chicks and I’ve got the classic gender question. I have three that I’m sure are pullets, one I’m pretty positive is a cockerel and one I just can’t figure out. I’m including pics for reference. It’s about 9 weeks old and all of mine are a barnyard mix, so no standard breed qualities. This one seems to be pretty active and patrolling while the others just chill. It’s confusing because the one I’m sure is a roo hangs out with the girls (though it’s a couple of weeks younger). This is so confusing, I’d love input from everyone’s experience.

I’d personally say cockerel, but i’d still wait and see. That bird (in my opinion) seems to be a wyandotte mixed with something else, and Wyandottes are notorious for pinking up early.
Thanks! The person I purchased from did have wyandottes hens, along with many others and a easter egger rooster (that’s what I think this one is.
