So this one I'm unsure of. Breed is rir x ee. It is about 3 months old. At 6 weeks it already had a bright red comb so was put on the list for butcher when big enough. I am now second guessing myself on it.

Going with pullet,I would expect to see some sorta male feathering by now
That's what I was thinking. The comb and it chest bumping the other cockerels was what was confusing me. The others (as seeing the curled tails in bottom pics) are my for sure males
 
Bumping is natural in all chicks,she sounds like the dominate pullet and is just trying to fit in with the boys.Tahts what I notice, the toughest pullet usually remains the leader of the group, and even the boys avoid play with her,

until they get older, then the males take over.

This one is the largest out of everyone
