Any pullets here?

im pretty sure none are pullets but need opinions, pls.

How old?

x2 The combs are relatively large but not obviously red yet; and the legs don't seem especially sturdy, so if they are 7+ weeks old, I am inclined to think they're pullets (but I'm still learning on this so I wouldn't put any money on it! )

They are 9 weeks this past Wednesday... The solid black has the colored sheen to the feathers that are making me think males for them..

At 9 weeks, and the amount of comb development, I see all roosters.

colored sheen to the feathers

I have laying hens withe beetle-green sheen on black feathers, so I don't take that as diagnostic. Are these all easter-eggers?

Backyard mix. Rooster is a black copper Maran. Hens are EE blue Marian and cream legbar

The solid black one with the near-colorless comb looks similar to a 9 week old sex-link pullet I have. (Same size comb & wattle development but extremely light colored like that.) I think you have at least one hen there.

My flock will be 12 weeks old tomorrow and my two gold laced Wyandottes have shown a lot of color since they were just a few weeks old. They haven't developed any other signs of maleness so I'm counting them as pullets ... for now!

I'm thinking pullets, no redness in comb/wattle ... Male feathering (saddle/hackle) from what I've read, start showing up around 12wks, I'd wait.
