Cockerels or Pullets?!?! Please help!

[Marymc31]

Hi all, I am fairly certain I have 5!!! roosters and 2 hens out of 7 total chicks I bought for 90% sexing accuracy. Can you please help me determine whether I have roosters or hens? (Photos below)

7 week old Easter/Olive Eggers

- 2 appear blue (I think both roosters, maybe one hen)
- 2 appear Wheaton (I think both roosters)
- 1 appears white (I think pullet)
- 1 appears silver (I think pullet)
- 1 appears brown/red (I think rooster)

Any ideas?!?! Thank you so much!!

I see all pullets. Minus that white one...
You’re overthinking this.
No big red combs or leakage.
All pale-combed, neatly patterned, and have sweet little girly faces.
Only one I’d watch is that white cushion/pea combed one.

Can't add anything to that. I agree completely.

And minus the blue CCLB cross, none of them are the pure colors you listed. All are mixed breeds with mixed colors.

I did that with one of my birds. Everyone was like ‘pullet, pullet, pullet!’ And I didn’t believe any of them.
Until she squatted. Yes, it took that long.

ok interesting! Which is the possible blue CCLB cross? (Forgive my ignorance). They were sold as fancy names that I think all just mean mutt.

The slaty blue with the crest. She’s an Olive egger, as CCLBs lay blue.

And I see a lighty barred darker slate one with a crest, who is likely a CCLB x Marans cross.

Thank you so much for your reply! I have wondered ever since why you said watch out for the white cushion/pea combed one? She is named Star and gives me lots of trouble. I have always wondered about it because it is the most aggressive of the bunch by far. And I am super curious why she/he stood out to you? Thank you so much!
