The first three were feedstore 'leftovers' and could be as old as six weeks, the last three are a week or a bit more younger.
 
Its a little young to tell, but they all look like pullets to me for now.
Really? Wow... maybe my ratios on my others are making me overly suspicious in cockerel-sign-spotting

Just updating in case someone else comes across this in a search trying to sex their birds- a month later blue is most assuredly a cockerel, and the rest appear to be pullets (I am always really suspicious of late blooming cockerels though- they've been the bane of my chickeny existence).
 
The first one had me thinking cockerel. Maybe you'll get lucky on all the rest!
I know about late bloomers. Oh my word. One of my BA "pullets" showed his true colors at 12-13 weeks. At 16 weeks we're still suspicious about the other but I'm hoping to goodness it was a fast maturing hen!

Oh my gosh, how frustrating! I've had ONE 'late bloomer' that double-bluffed me. After looking pullety suddenly a major attitude, big spur buds, and black tail feathers on a RIR 'pullet' made me so cranky. Then 'he' started laying eggs.

Some of them just like to be mysterious, I guess.
