Not sure about the frizzle, but the Ameraucana is definitely a cockerel and "Blue" appears to be a pullet, I think, though she has thick legs!

I have 7 Silkies myself that are 8 weeks old. I have only been able to positively sex two of them - most people find that waiting until 4-5 months is necessary or is the time it takes to confirm their guess! Silkies are very difficult to sex, and I believe there is a thread for it specifically.

Add: Looking at the ages again - the frizzle still confuses me (maybe cockerel?) and "Blue" may be a cockerel at only 5 weeks - looks to have female patterning though. Originally I was pretty sure "Blue" was a pullet. I'll have to study them again.

I'm not very familiar with the wheaten color patterning, if this is wheaten - but the chick on the right appears to be a cockerel. I was going to say cockerel also for the left, but I'm not sure about its colouring - maybe blue wheaten pullet?

The EE (not Ameraucana) is a pullet. The colouring says that. The comb is likely big because it has leghorn in it.

Ancona's full grown have massive combs. This is why I don't want to say this is a boy, since I have no experience with the breed. I would ask on the general discussion thread here: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/328758/ancona-chicken-thread

They will help you out on that. Or PM Nava who started the thread. Please check back and let us know what they say

 

[Kerbouchard]

I certainly will. I also started a thread as you advised. Thanks for all the help. I appreciate it.
