I know it is early to tell on some of these guys, but I thought I would post them anyway. Best guesses on gender?

I have some very strong suspicions on most of them. Just curious to see what others say. TIA!
 
The Frizzle Cochin #1 looks like a cockerel, but the others all look like pullets to me. I am kind of question EE #2 though and can't quite decide.
 
Picture 1- Looks like a pullet to me. The tail is very straight, and the face looks normal for that age.
Picture 2- Pretty normal coloring for a pullet. However, the tail seems to want to curve, which I have seen on some E.E pullets. I would keep an eye on this one. However, the tail curve could be the position of the bird in this picture.
Picture 3- Looks like another little girl
Picture 4 and 5- Look like two pullets to me. My frizzle rooster had a large comb at that stage. But, I suppose it really depends on the strain of bird you purchased. If one is a rooster it will most likely be the one in picture four.

Best wishes with your babies,

Thank you all for your input! I am thinking that one, or possibly both, Frizzles are roos. The one with the smaller comb has had it grow more and change darker red just during this week since the pics were taken.

The EE's I am just not sure yet. They are very feisty little birds though, not that this means one way or another whether they are roos or not. I hope they are not, but I guess time will tell.
