#1 Easter Egger looks to be a cockerel, hatcheries have around a 80% accuracy when it comes to sexing pullets, so sometimes cockerels slip through :'(

The second one may just be a dominant hen but that comb is pretty big... is the Lavender also 6 weeks? I'd for sure keep an eye on it!

Im still learning. Are there 4 chicks in all?
The first picture lead chick is a Cockerel. I can't really see the second chick behind him but again, I'm learning.
The forward one (lavender color) in the second picture I believe is also a Cockerel.
If I were to guess, you have 2 Cockerels.
