Hello! Chick sexing help please! I tried to take the pics as per the guidelines to help. But you know, chicks. Lol. There were 7 in our hatch.

1. Sunny - average sized, average friendliness (not too snuggly, not too resistant). I read through the sexing tips threads and the feather pattern would seem to be roo? But the comb pullet? My guess is pullet?

2. Pip, has a cockerel comb IMO. Is smaller than the others but also had a wierd hatch (yolkish looking stuff behind), and was scraggly with his down. Feathers seem to be coming in ok. Is very resistant to being caught but is snuggly once caught. Active.

3. Diamond, slowest to feather out, the smallest of the hatch. Likes to be high, perches up on shoulders, the feeder, anything. Is the first to come when I come to the pen. Pullet?

Pip and twilight look like they are developing more of a cockerel comb so I wouldn’t be surprised if they were roosters. However, I am not a pro. Hopefully others will have more input.
 
6. Lightning, the crossbeak, friendly and average size. I think I see 3 rows of "peas" in the comb even though it's all yellow still and not big.

Was black and bright yellow tummy and cheeks as a young chick
