Help confirming sex

Hi. First birds this year. Three were labeled blue-laced red wyandotte, 4 splash ameraucana. All 18 weeks now.
My thoughts are they are all pullets, but the one labeled 2 acts very different than the other two wyandotte, and the one labeled 5 looks and acts different than the other three ameraucana.
I was thinking 18 weeks I would see more clearly what was what, but I am still questioning.
Would appreciate any input

Those all look like pullets to me.

All Pullets, especially with those saddle feathers.

Beautiful chickens!

Thank you!
That is good, but I was kind of hoping #5 was a cockerel lol

Strange to say, but sorry about your luck not getting a cockerel .

You shouldn’t have much trouble finding one that someone wants to rehome. But, if this is your first time with chickens I’d suggest sticking with just the girls and getting a little practice. A roo adds a whole other degree of difficulty.

Well one of those four was an extra, so I was thinking maybe they slid a male in in me lol. I was up for it, but only because that one is so friendly

Gotcha.

Don’t count on a Roos disposition as a chick, or at 18 weeks, to remain constant into adulthood.

In any case, I’m glad you got a friendly pullet!
