Do we possibly have one pullet??

We have 6 unsexed mixed breed chickens. They are 8.5 weeks old. I posted photos a few weeks back and the consensus was that I had all cockerels. Now that they're a little older, we're thinking we MAY have one pullet? This ones comb and wattles are much smaller than the rest, and her tail feathers look different too. She's also much gentler than the rest; I'm honestly annoyed at most of the cockerels as they fight all the time and one of them attacks my feet! Thoughts?
It's the grey and white one that we think may be a pullet. The brown and whites are almost certainly cockerels (some photos of them included for comparison).

When I only looked at the photo of the grey/white one, I assumed it was a male, but after seeing her with all the others, she does look more like a pullet to me. Her tail gives it away.
 
Looks like the white/grey one is developing male type hackles on the back of the neck. Pictures aren’t clear on my iPad. Maybe you could take a picture of the back of the neck.
