I got Six checks from tractor trailer about 3 to 3 1/2 months ago. One little beauty died. The rest I’m still guessing their sex. One day I think they’re all girls the next it’s all boys. By The way the buff Orpington’s have a 90% chance of being girls.

It’s still pretty early to tell, come back in a few weeks. If I was to take a guess by looking at combs and thickness of legs I’d say both Orpingtons are cockerels, rest look like pullets.
 
So 14 weeks? I think your orpingtons are ladies. I've always worried about my orp babies. I've had 8 of them so far and the cockrells have always had big red combs and wattles by 8 or 9 weeks. Also a couple of my pullets were somewhat red and were thick, thus the worry. The males were so obvious though.
The wyandotte looks like a pullet too. Not familiar with silkies or sultans.
Good luck.
 
Thanks on the orpingtons, I’ve been thinking they might be boys. I don’t see the really Buffy butt. She a golden sebright my bad, I should have posted a full pic of her.

They are not too early to sex
They could have been sexed 8 weeks ago
The Orpingtons are pullets for sure and the rest I think are pullets also, silkies are tougher to sex but at 14 weeks I say pullet! At 14 weeks the combs and wattles would be larger and darker and male traits would begin to show
 
Easier to tell at about 6 weeks...redder and larger combs are males.....excepting the silkies, those are tougher

Ok here they are at 6 weeks.
