    Help pullet or cockerel ?

    These are my 3 six week old easter eggers and one of my brown leghorn. I think the darker egger (orange band ) is a cockerel I see 3 rows of bumps on the comb. The other 2 (green and teal) I think are pullets. The leghorn (yellow) has a redish crown and waddles so i suspect a cockerel.
