First time chicken owner— are these 7.5 week chicks male or female?

Many warm welcomes to this wonderful community!

It appears all your pretty birds are pullets.

I could be wrong, but the 4th picture (AAIBD...) looks a little cocky to me.

Interesting... it’s the same bird as the first 3 pics. Thanks for your input!

It's the angle of the picture on the comb, just looks a little prominent for a pullet. I looked back at 1 -3, the neck feathers are pretty pointy too. I have some chicks pull tricks on me, thinking they may be a roo but was a pullet.

Age stated is too young for gender feathers (other than color) to be present in my experience.

But it's always awesome to try and see things from another perspective, an playing the breed/gender game is one of my faves!

Welcome to BYC! I believe all are pullets but one. I may be wrong but I feel like the white one is a cockerel but I may be wrong

Since my "baby" game has been over for 20+ years, it's either the chicken moms or my daughters that I speculate on, lol.
