Can anyone please help me determine the genders on these chicks? I think they are 4-5 weeks old. Pretty sure I already know the answers on a few,,,,, but want to make sure. Thanks!!

This is Easter Egger #1




Easter Egger #2




Easter Egger #3





Easter Egger #4



California White #1




California White #2




California White #3




California White #4



Spitzhauben #1



Spitzhauben #2

 
EE - 2, 3 & 4 are all pullets. 1 is most likely a pullet, but the pictures aren't clear enough.

California whites: 1 & 4 look like pullets (2 & 3 cockerels)

Last two... I am going to say pullets. I am not familiar with the breed, but all the crested birds I've raised (polish & houdan) have crests that stick straight up only if they turned out to be girls. The boys had a different shape to their crests. On top of that their nares are small like pullets.

They were an "all pullet" order from Ideal. I was leaning towards 2 of the EE being cockerals, 3 of the California Whites, and 1 of the Spitz. Mainly because they seem to have larger, pointer tails and walk around with them sticking up, whereas the other 4 have shorter, rounder tails that are often either straight or down.
