Ok. I have 6 chicks, 2 of which are 1-2 weeks older than the other 4. I think I know all of the breeds, but you can correct me if I’m wrong. I’m mostly asking about gender. I think at least one of the Doms is a boy. Pics:

This pic is pretty funny. The Dominique on the left is Salt, the one on the right is Pepper, the for-sure rooster. He even acts like one. Both are
exactly 7 weeks.

Pepper, note the photobomb by June Bug.

Salt, whose barring looks very pullet-like to me. Comb is also smaller, and paler. Could be a boy though, I’m on the fence.

Next: Both are 6 weeks, #1 is Nutmeg, who I was told is a Speckled Sussex. I am 98% sure she is a girl. #2 is Vanilla, who is a BBS EE x BLRW. I think girl. Pale, small comb, and even pattern. Nutmeg:

Vanilla:

Her comb does look pretty pink in this pic, but at that moment it was quite cold. Her comb is usually very pale in real life.
Next: June Bug and Melody, both are ~9 weeks. #1: Mel is a Buff Orp, and #2: JB is an EE.

So the first 4 are exactly 7 weeks old, and these 2 are ~9 weeks.
Thoughts?
TYIA!
 
All look like pullets so far with the exception of Pepper.

Cute names!
Thanks! That's what I thought. As a chick, the head spot on Pepper was medium-biggish and broken up. It bled down his neck, too. Salt's was medium sized, but concentrated.
<sigh> I wish Pepper wasn't a boy...He is so sweet. I know most boys start out like that, but it doesn't make it easier.

Are you allowed to keep roos? Then you could hatch eggs! Lol

Your chicks are ADORABLE!!! I love Vanilla, she's so pretty. Based on these pics they do all look like pullets except for Pepper. Congrats! Thanks for tagging me! I just keep looking at Vanilla, what a gorgeous girl. My BLRW's comb used to flush red a lot too.

Yeah, hers gets flushed a peachy pink-red when it is cold and wet. Otherwise hers is pale pinkish-skin tone.
