I the brown 2 are Easter Eggers (often sold as Ameraucana) and they mature more slowly because they are a mix. At this point i believe they are both pullets. Usually the EEs that have that color are females. Cockerels that are EEs have orange coloring, red, or white coloring often on the chest and wings. EEs you go by coloring of the bird, not feathers so much because they are mixed breeds. The checkered one is a Plymouth Barred Rock and looks to be a Pullet also as she has only pink on the comb and no pink wattle starting :) ... The white one I am not sure of breed, but appears to be female. A better head shot of her would help.

Here is the white one - Chickaletta - last week (6 weeks old)

This chick looks like an EE Plymouth Barred Rock mix. As you can see on her face, she has puffy feathers pointed outwards. They look a bit like ear muffs. My EE Barred Rock mix has those. I am pretty sure it is a pullet. The comb is really not that red.
Here is a picture of my EE BR mix.

See her puffy cheeks?
Hope this helps!

I feel like that looks just like Oskar! I will remain cautiously optimistic but won’t get my hopes up too much :)
 
Hi, all! It’s been about 3 weeks since I originally posted this and I wanted to come back and share more pictures of the chicken in question. I took these today and he/she is about 11 weeks old now. Still leaning pullet? Just so nervous that I’ll end up with a cockerel!
