So we have 6 new chickens to add to our flock, they are about 3 months old and I am pretty sure I can guess their genders, but I need to make sure.

Here is a Golden Comet (I think it's a golden comet anyway, I got it mixed up with our other reddish orange chick when they were really young) that I think is a pullet-

I'm pretty sure this Sapphire Splash is a roo-

A leghorn which I am almost 100 percent sure is a pullet-

Starlight Green Egger, also probably a pullet but I'm not sure-

Finally, a Silver Laced Wyandotte. I am pretty sure this one is male, sorry about the bad quality photos, this one hates to hold still!

I know this is a bit of a late time to be finding out their genders but I just needed to be sure. I still haven't heard crowing from any of them, which is weird, but I still think that 2 are male. I apologize for the bad quality photos. Thanks!
 
The Wyandotte and Sapphire splash are definite males. I think all the rest are pullets, but there's a big question mark over the one you call a golden comet. It is not a golden comet but some other type of hatchery hybrid or maybe a New Hampshire. It has no male feathering that I can see, but the comb and wattles are huge. At 3 months, I think that has to be a late developing male.

Yeah, I wasn't sure what it was because when we got the chicks I didnt think that it looked very much like the Golden comet in the picture. Thank you for confirming that! I for some reason thought that it was just a pullet with a really big comb and pair of wattles.

I think it's likely to be a male, but it is possible it is a female. It might be a red ranger, a meat breed, which could explain it's size. I think more opinions are needed on that one.
