Genders please (& breed) Pic heavy

It's looking like out of my original 7 Easter eggers, these two might be my only pullets. They are 5 weeks old. I'm also posting Polish and some newbies I don't know breed of.

EE #1


EE #2


Golden laced Polish, 6 weeks old
#1


#2


I was given these as pullets, but I have my doubts, especially about one. Supposed to be 5-6 week old RIR mix, but they look so tiny next to the EEs. Genders and breed thoughts? Photo attached shoes size difference
#1


#2 the one I'm most suspicious is a cockerel

At this point they should have waddles starting to form if they are boys. I don't own polish chickens so I don't know how to sex them. They all appear to have rounded saddle feathers in the pictures(correct me if I am wrong). Since none have waddles right now and all appear to be feathered in properly for females, I believe that they are all girls.The boys combs should not be that light either. I do not know how to sex polish chickens but the rounded saddle feathers on her makes me think that it is a girl.Hope this helps and that they are all pullets. Good luck

Nothing pops out to signal cockerel on the first ones! But the last one does look like a cockerel

All except for the first supposed RIR chick look like pullets. In case I'm wrong, check and see if the neck feathers are round or pointed. Hope I helped ^-^.

Thats what Im hoping! The 5 other EEs had the bright red triple pea combs, some with really red wattles, so they were pretty obvious. I had 4 other Polish, but they all have had really developed wattles and 3 had red prominent forked combs so all cockerels I assume there. The new kids, I think they are RIR bantam mixes? No clue... First one I lean pullet on but the other looks a little redder in the comb/wattle area so I figured Id post them Thank you for the guesses

Thats my thoughts exactly :-\ Im new to chickens so when I was told the little red ones were pullets, I was happy. Then the red started coming in on the one more. Ah well. Do you think they are bantams or bantam Xs?

I hope the first RIR x (I have no idea what they are, looking for breed guesses too... I think they might be some kind of bantam X) isnt a roo, I was leaning roo on the 2nd one since its redder in the comb/wattles. Its the year of the roo for me haha 15 chicks and maybe 4-5 pullets.

Lol I have like 100 chickens and only 16 roos. The most I ever get in a hatch are about 10-15 pullets and 1-5 cockerels. I'm lucky. The Xs look bantam. Maybe a wellsummer cross?
