BTW you can post your photos at "what breed or gender is this?" and the fine folks there will sort them.

Thanks, just did that! (I think)

I'll go and check that right now.

Welcome to BYC They're all pullets - No. 8 has a more vibrant comb however it is small relative to a cockerel and cockerels develop pointed sickles, saddles and hackles at 12 - 13 weeks, I can't see any development.

When you're looking for pointy feathers you'll see almost triangular ones on the males as seen in the saddle of this bird (former to his tail). They are usually longer than a pullet/hen's feathers too, often covering the wingtips.
