Cockerels or Pullets?

[GelatinousUnicorn]

Ok, I have been convinced these 3 are cockerels but i doubt myself sometimes and they give confusing signs.

For background: the black one is a silkie mix (3 months old) & the other 2 are ameraucana mixes (2 months old)

Please give me your expert advice.

I'd say the black one is a cockerel and probably the orange one too. Wouldn't want to bet a lot of money on it at this stage, based on those photos, though.

cant see the chestnut one in enough detail, but my feeling is cockerl based on the saddle feather coloring. The gold is a pullet IMO, and i don't have experience with silkies.

Thank you! I can post more pictures later. But i have a feeling all are cockerels. Which is a shame because i absolutely love the black one. His name is squishy.

I'm leaning pullet for the gold one based on the evenness of the feather patterning, but I don't remember all the specifics of which areas of the body should be what colour for different patterns, so I could be wrong.
