Alpha -- Pullet
Bravo -- Pullet
Charlie -- Cockerel
Delta -- Cockerel
Echo -- Pullet (I have one named Echo too!)
Foxtrot -- Pullet
Golf -- Cockerel
 
Interesting names -- Do you have a pilot in your family?

Here are my guesses based on both comb size and coloring.

Alpha: most likely a pullet

Bravo: definite pullet

Charlie: looks rooish - watch for red/rust colored feathers to appear on the wingbows - if they do, he's a roo

Delta: most likely a roo

Echo: definite pullet

Foxtrot: most likely a pullet

Golf: not sure yet - could go either way
 
Thank you everyone for the replies! I was hoping for at least four pullets, this makes me very happy!

PS - There is no pilot in the family, but I do computer support over the phone so use the phonetic alpha quite a bit. It seemed nicer than naming them Thing 1 through Thing 7

Now that I am pretty sure which ones are pullets, some of them will receive real names!
 
Hm... I agree with Lothiriel except that I think Alpha will show himself to be a cockerel soon. Maybe it's the lighting but I'm seeing a hint of red-brown emerging in the back and the comb is rather pink for 6 weeks.
