Are there not saddle feathers on that bird? And hackles starting to grow in? @MysteryChicken
They're abit young to be saddling, even though I've had chicks saddle early. It depends on breed, mix, & how fast the birds mature.

A fast maturing pullet may look like a cockerel sometimes due the size, & color of her comb, & wattles(Had a few of these) only difference would be no pointy saddles on the pullet as she gets older.

I do agree that the two Sussex in the foreground are cockerels, the Sussex in the background is a Pullet, & the Wyandotte is most like a pullet.
