4 Week old Chicks- Pullets or Roos?

[BoiseChik]

I am so tired of worrying about if these new chicks we got are pullets or cockerels. These three birds are all just about four weeks old, a Light Brahma, a Buff Orpington and a Silver Lace Wynadotte. Can you tell gender from the pictures and what are you looking for? I am also going to go get another 4 week old Light Brahma, and wondering if there is anything I can look for, to confirm it's a pullet?

Of the three, the Wyandotte is the one I would vote male on first, that is a lot of comb and the wattles are pretty red for that age, don't see anything that particularly worries me about the other two right now.

Thanks for your input!

2x? I don't know what that means.

I agree with Kelsie2290

I tried to get some better, more clear pictures. I hope this helps.

I would say the Buff Orpington is a pullet. It's easier to tell if you've had them from the beginning, but that's my best guess.

Thanks so much for your reply! As it grows, what am I looking for to determine if it is a pullet or cockerel, and at what age should it be pretty clear? Also, could you look at the pictures of my bigger, 10 week old BO, that has a pretty developed comb/waddle? I posted it under a different thread.
