Roos or hens??

I’m not sure on the ages, they are all different, but I’ve had them for 5 weeks. I would guess they are 6-9 weeks.. I know the grey one is the oldest. All these pictures were taken on the same day. Starting today, sometimes the Easter Eggers combs are red and sometimes they aren’t which has me confused.
1. Was sold as an Andalusian but not sure that’s right so any breed suggestions would be appreciated too!
2. Easter Egger #1
3. Easter Egger #2
4. Speckled Sussex
5. Buff Orpington (somehow managed to forget to take a good pic of this one but it’s in the first group pic at the waterer)

All breeds are correct!
For genders, all are pullets except the Speckled Sussex, which is looking like a cockerel so far, in my opinion.

X2.

Speckled Sussex is suspect but the others all look like pullets.

What is it that makes the sussex look like a cockerel in your opinion? I’m still learning and I know there are different ways to tell so I’m just curious. Thanks!

At this age, I'm looking at comb development. Just looks like a bit much comb and wattles to be a pullet.

I too was looking at comb development. For that age it seems big. I was also looking at the thickness of the legs.

All pullets

I agree though that the Sussex might also be a cockerel, though. I'd say 50/50.

All Pullets in my opinion right now, our SS had the same or more comb development by this age so hold onto hope for the SS they mature quick and ours laid very early as well. A couple more weeks to be sure though.
