comb of one pictured in photo above

supposed to all be pullets. What do you think?

pea comb? Doesn't that mean Roo?

The Orpington? in the background (large bird) is a cockerel. Very likely at least three of the black chicks are also cockerel. Pea combs are found in both pullets and cockerels - they are breed specific not gender specific.

No other guesses? Is it possible that the ones with the small combs are pullets or is it just wishful thinking? They are about 14 weeks and black australorp mix (maybe with buff orpington?)

I see at least five of the black ones are cockerels and the large buff one is a cockerel also.

lots of boys there

You say boys because of the combs? So you think all of the closeups are boys then? What if there is a comb but no wattles?

All the ones you took closeups of are cockerels. As for the comb but no wattles, do you mean the last one? Bearded birds generally have small, hard to find wattles.
