Can you help me verify gender and age?

Hi everyone! We bought these chickens from Tractor Supply about 6 weeks ago. We were told when we got them that they were about a week old at the time. We have two Barred Rocks (named Sugar and Spice), 2 Silver Laced Wyandottes (Cookies and Cream), and one Starlight Green Egger (May). Can anyone help me verify their age and sex? They're supposed to all be pullets, but the one SLW seems questionable to me. I've had a flock before and was very successful with it, but I am not at all an expert.

The only one I have a bit of suspicion about is the Wyandotte with whiter shoulders, so watch that one, but I'm pretty sure it is a pullet. The rest are definitely pullets.

I am not an expert, in fact I am a complete newbie.

But I'm gonna go out on a limb and say you have 1 Cockerel in that bunch -- but honestly that's no bad thing! <3 It looks like it's one of the Silver Laced Wyandottes! He's a beaut!

That's the SLW I'm suspicious about as well (Cookies). It won't be bad if she's actually a roo, but I'm curious. Do you think 7 weeks is about right for their age?

That's the one I'm suspicious of. Roo or pullet, she/he is turning out to be beautiful! The Starlight Green is a bit rough looking right now, but she's also a stunner, typically. It will be interesting to see what she looks like as she matures.

Yes, it seems just right. A couple of them are a bit smaller but I think it's just natural variation. There's always going to quicker and slower developers.
