So these were all supposed to be pullets, and I forgot what a couple of them arw because I thought I'd remember all the different kinds and didn't band them. I always forget, I don't know why I thought I would remember. Anyways first 3 photos here are...not sure at all.

Next 2 photos I think are a wellsummer pullet?

Final 4 pictures are supposed to be a blue laced gold Wyandotte pullet, but it looks like a blue laced red? It's 6 weeks old. Also it is super dominant/aggressive. Could it be a cockerel? Its wattles are small but present, and turning quite red. It's also giant compared to my other 6 weekers. I might get rid of it anyways because she/he is a jerk to everybody.

It looks like:
1. Wyandotte cockerel due to dark male type feather color.
2. Welsummer pullet.
3. Wyandotte cockerel, pointy hackle feathers indicating male feathers.

So what color is #1? It has white on its breast and tan legs, not yellow. Here are more pictures. It's also supposed to be a pullet, but I've had like 5 others be cockerels just this March from hoovers 'pullet' bins. I don't even,remeber getting a wyandotte besides the 'blue laced gold pullet' which seems to be more of a blue laced red cockerel. LOL what a mess.

He appears to be a blue laced gold. The white on the breast can be immature/chick feathers and will go away with age.
 
None of them are obvious cockerels so far. Many hatchery blue laced reds are actually blue laced golds, so that coloration is usually more likely.
 
It looks like:
1. Wyandotte cockerel due to dark male type feather color.
2. Welsummer pullet.
3. Wyandotte cockerel, pointy hackle feathers indicating male feathers.
So they are both pullets! So glad they weren't wrongly sexed like my others from pullet bins. They are 15 weeks and 12 weeks about now.
